Thats not really an issue though.  If people are OK with Windows, don't
really desire freedom, then that doesn't impact me greatly, as long as
I've got viable options and can continue to use the systems of my

Linux won't gain, and I think shouldn't gain, widespread acceptence.  We
should be OK with that.

The goal isn't biggest market share, the goal is, I think, to ensure
that people who want to follow a path of freedom and empowerment, have
the option to do so.
