This article is completely focused on Linux as a desktop
solution.  In that arena, I have to admit that Linux is not
ready.  As much as I would love to run Linux on my desk,
it is impossible or far too time consuming to get the software 
that I need to run my business (Please do not start a flame 
war on this).

He states this point:
 Compared to its sliver of the desktop OS market, Linux 
 garnered a much larger 23 percent of the server market 
 in 2002.

But does not expand on it because it is not the focus
of the article.  Personally, I belive that the server
market is where Linux is the best available solution and
I challenge anyone to try to tell me otherwise.

So, given the narrow focus of the article, I think what
he says is pretty accurate.  It is slanted, but not too
much.  Definitely good to start seeing a shift in the media.

To whomever posted the original link to this mailing
list: thank you for telling us about it.

Thanks,
	Neil
