If according to Bill Gates Linux is the fast-growing competitive OS ...
... (Gates: Linux, unlike Mac OSX, is growing fast like cancer) ? why not Linux?

According to your logic MS must skip Mac OSX and make business only with Linux (e.g. Linux market is unlimited: Linux is available on PCs, Macs, etc., but Mac-market is limited to a few % = it means Mac-market is low-profitable vs. Linux, etc.).

Tic, your theory doesn?t fit into reality. Do you have a more realistic explanation?

P.S. Tic, your [url=http://www.boingboing.net/2007/01/08/gates_fndtn_invests_.html] link [/url] to The Gates Foundation has nothing to do with Apple. Is this the only your argument?
