I dare say we'll eventually see two sorts of linux (or more likely a 
hundred). A comercial linux and a user linux... 

MS is a big octopus. It's tentacles are everywhere and it has a good grip on 
things and has a habit of putting the squeeze on things... But it still has a 
head and it's all under control from somewhere.

Linux's and their kin are like swarms of bees. You might be able to put some 
in hives, but there's still going to be a lot buzzing around. And like bees, 
you have to convince them to stay in the damn hives...
