Could you tell me, please, when exactly it was that "most people ran
for cover"? I don't recall that ever happening.

You know like these guys, RedHat: http://www.redhat.com Suse: http://www.suse.com

or any of the people found at http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html


or these guys: IBM: http://www.ibm.com/linux HP: http://www.hp.com/linux Novell: http://www.novell.com/linux Dell: http://www.dell.com/linux Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/linux CA: http://www.ca.com/linux

Please, nobody ran for cover. As a matter of fact MS has been chasing UN*X ever since it entered the server market, and just as they saw a gap in the market they could fill, along came Linux. Linux fills that gap and starts to reclaim LAN services like file and print sharing for UN*X. Now Linux is touching the desktop, and MS is trying to figure out how they can keep the inside track in that race.
