...every common computer user could benefit instead of only big companies!...

...almost every achivement in computational machines and software would be usefull to the very large majority of people around the world...

...any anouncement of a supercomputer running Linux (the "top" open source OS) is half a defeat for the Open Source/Linux movement, because it serves only private interests betraying the majority of Open Source programmers that are in projects like Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, Mozilla and the thounsands of new applications that pop out every year, and are denied "one more" place to run...

...if "conspiracy" is a commom word nowadays, i would not be suprised if there are agents fuelling the war in all sectores of open source,..if not, at least it's a Major Point and IMO the most damaging in M$ FUD arsenal...
