Right-O! As a user of OS/2, though Linux is my first choice now I'd hate to see Linux and the end user lose, because we thought Linux was unstopable. Bob joe lerch wrote:

Maybe all the OS/2 users that thought there was a conspiracy behind IBM suddenly dropping support for OS/2 were not wrong. As I said before, the Linux community needs to learn from this. Although Microsoft can't stop the grass roots movement for Linux, they can make it really hard on some of the major distributors. SuSE is the safest as it has it's main strength outside of USA. I believe RedHat faces the biggest risk, as it depends mostly on USA, where Microsoft is the controlling monopoly. Hopefully the DOJ will be able to curb some of Microsoft's illegal tactics, making it a great place for Linux to continue growing. If the DOJ can't win, let's hope they drag out the trial long enough for linux to get a strong foothold to fight off any future Microsoft attacks.
