Absolutely. I haven't run Windows for anything I do personally, since
2001. The open source world just gets better and better. Pieces are
falling into place that complete the picture, like Adobe gving the
Mozilla foundation the code to Flash; Real opening up its code and
having the Helix player; OpenOffice handling I'd say at least 80% of
the Word users; Apache being better web servers; Firefox being at
least off to a very good start; Eudora morphing into some kind of
open source. The list goes on.
This is fodder for a meeting at some point.
