Sure it has a positive side too - Linux seems to be a very good choice 
for Servers today..

Ok, to stop the thread I've started right here: I would love to see 
Linux getting on the Desktop! Otherwise I wouldn't have purchased a 
development tool that produces desktop applications for Linux (and is 
now several generations behind).  Unfortunately it seems that no one 
(except IBM and SCO perhaps ;-) ) has come up with a concept of making 
money from Linux based applications.
AFIU costs for testing in all possible distribution, kernel/glib 
combinations plus supplying frequent updates is too high and sale 
figures too low.
