Please do ignore Linux
Linux market share is growing, it is supported by IBM, HP, Novell, Oracle and even Sun. The largest new market in the World, china, has very loose intellectual property laws which work to the detriment od Microsoft's model. It is good you are getting the results you want with the products you have chosen. But it is foolish to suggest that Linux is only good for hoppbyists and home servers. The numbers suggest further acceptance of Linux and standards based software in general. Thus IE has to stay current or continue to lose market and mindshare. Have a great day.
