The facts are Linux has destroyed US software companies, just as it was designed to do, but thankfully companies like Apple and Sun are now making a resurgence. A decade ago it was predicted to wipe Unix out of the server room, but even IBM still sells Unix today, in big numbers. A couple years ago Linux was expected to surpass Apple in desktop share, but now that a lot of people have actually tried it out and realize it’s crap it’s desktop share is actually falling according to web counters. Yes I know you prefer junky foreign clones over their superior American orginals, but most don’t.
And created others (RedHat, RaidZone, Linksys) every new technology destroys companies, how many companies did MS destroy? Netscape anyone?

Yup I'm glad for it as well, but remember Apple was hurt by *MICROSOFT* not Linux. SCO (The real SCO) Sold off its business before Monterrey ended they quit on IBM.
And created others, and breathed new life into yet others. New products tend to cause casualties in the old market. Such is capitalism. Unless you're saying you don't believe in capitalism.

IBM also sells Linux, in big numbers.

So says the troll to the person typing this on a Mac! And not even with the GPL-cored Safari, but Firefox. I have never had Linux as my main system.
