Given that most of Microsoft's profit comes from the desktop, I'm wondering:
if Linux, as I see it, is on its way to becoming a complete, competitive
desktop system, would this money simply cease to flow? Is there any model at
sight for profitable Desktop distros? It looks like RedHat has given

this doesn't compete with Windows for pricing.
Well, we all know now that the Red Hat Linux boxed set was not profitable..
