 How far has Linux come?In response to the August 14 story "Linux grows up in a hurry": Does Linux pose a real threat to Microsoft? It completely depends on the market segment: High-end corporate: No, but Microsoft isn't even a serious player here. Midrange corporate: No. Microsoft is too entrenched. Low-end corporate: Yes. Linux is making serious inroads here. High-end consumer (techno-geek): Of course! Low-end consumer (Average Joe): No. In other words, not until grandma can use it. Chris Stoffel
