I think something to keep in mind (and not because I'm a stickler for such
things) is that what's important here is "free software".
Everything quoted so far leverages free software. "Linux" is a small
part of it.
I think the GCC developers may be a bit peeved if all the credit went
to Linux rath
Linux powers my Motorolla mobile phone, my Kogan netbook, my LED Digital TV
and my Webserver. I hope it is not dead.
What proportion of "Mobile Phones" are Android's, I-Phones or I-Pads?

That's right Eric, I'm with you.
There are many other problems with Apple notably Banning of GPL and
copyright assignments.
I'm quite concerned about proliferation of proprietary software.
No matter what software we can willingly choose, Australian public schools
have to use Microsoft's software

Other way around. Apple and Linux are both derivatives of Unix(TM).
Apple
So clearly, the main market forces are: Android (Linux), Apple (BSD),
Microsoft
(Windows)..

Apple via the BSD, Linux via GNU/FSF

.. except that it's got a gnu toolchain, but uses chunks of the BSD userland
and
Of course.
gnu tool chain, has a command shell...
if it has a shell where you can enter linux commands.. it's a linux
derivative..
just a very beautiful one..

It's not so much that Linux is dead, but rather it is perhaps finished.
The computers 'to-die-for' now, are no longer the Windows machines
but the Android and Apple computers.
Clearly, they both are Linux derivates. So in a way, commercial Linux
won out.
There's little that really can be done on
