During the Micrsoft discussion, I will be talking about another related
and what I think is a very exciting issue, and that is the rapidly
improving Linux software operating system. Linux represents a much
different challenge to Microsoft. It is free. There is no corporate
entity which owns Linux. It is created by thousands of volunteers. It
is the world's first complex consumer product which is created by
consumers (users) without a corporation.
