I saw that, but I think they're way off base. It's not that "All That
Matters Is Business", it's "Your Core Strength Matters Most". Linux is
getting better at competing in the consumer-grade applications, but it's
still a far better server than a PDA.

If you're going to bet the farm on the consumer market then maybe, and only
maybe, the current development makes sense. But
abandoning/betraying/lobotimzing your core market just to make inroads
elsewhere is a very bad gamble. It's not like IT is a niche market.
