But this was stated years ago when McBride bowed out of the Novell
stuff...I'd assume that nothing changes over the course of years. He's a
vampire - 'nuff said. It's just sad that he's got to shake up the world
in the manner he is; but truth be told, I reckon that overall, in
between the massive crap that's hit Microsoft as of late and the SCO
stuff going down, the GNU/linux/OSS arena is fastly filling up with
those that would have otherwise never even WANTED to try linux out on
their desktop - let alone server...so for all the FUD, they're
generating not only a stronger OSS/GNU/linux community, they're drawing
people to it...
