It must be worrying for MS how much Linux has increased in
popularity. I believe we've gone from "Linux will never be
successful" to the above "Linux isn't successful yet" in
just about one year ... :)

Kind of worrysome that even MS is admitting the success of
Linux :) (outside of their legal arguments)
