I think it is interesting that Microsoft was named as OS for home and
small business since I believe the govt is its biggest customer.  As for
Linux, I don't think it has made it to the home yet, but I believe it is
one of the biggest, if not the biggest operating system for Internet
networks. 

As an experiment, I am trying to setup a Linux computer as an office
computer running ALL FREE software.  It doesn't mean I won't pay for
some software in the office, but I want to see if I can setup at least
one computer in the network in which there is NO software cost and make
it powerful and usable for the business.  I have a home business right
now and I am learning Linux and it's software.  First I want to create a
server then I'll work on the desktop idea.

Just my .01, if its worth that much.

<<<<<SNIP>>>>>

1) carefully avoided laying any specific blame by name,
2) made absolutely *no* mention of the possibility of the use
   of open source to increase security, and
3) most hysterically, specifically named windows and linux as
   operating systems for home and small business use

i just thought the irony was worth sharing.
