You don't understand Linux ...
Linux is pervasive and extremely resilient. It is not going away anytime soon any more than MS is going away anytime soon. Would MS LIKE to see Linux go away? Duh ... Would most Linux zeolots LIKE to see MS go away? Again ... Duh ... But neither scenario is likely. Walmart is just as attached to Linux as they are to Windows and THEY ARE THE CUSTOMER. So MS is just going to turn around after a few years and tell them 'We won, Game over"? I don't think so. Rather I think you are halucinating about this due to excessive paranoia. And you are giving MS far too much credit. They have lots of money and lots of power, but they heven't conquered the world yet, and I don't think that even they really expect to soon.
