I think we're reading this a bit wrong. Is Linux REALLY a brand name? How many
people are actually AWARE of it's existence? I'd take the results with a
pinch of salt myself.
Also, with regard to the BBCs programme about OS for 2010, I can't see that
they are claiming much more than a history of the web. I'm not hoping for
great things. I would, however, appreciate being surprised by less
propaganda and more hard facts.
