Ex-Microsoftie: Free Software Will Kill Redmond (ComputerWorld)

I couldn't of said it any better myself. I think the "Linux Crusade" is fighting a battle that is much larger than the desktop itself. Personally, if there is a day where Linux is the leader, I guarantee I will not be alive, and I am only 35.

We need to stop trying to be the #1 desktop, it is virtually impossible right now. What we should be doing is working on creating an amazing alternative, making what we already have better. According to stats, Linux is #3 in the desktop world, that still puts us on the podium and is a feat in itself that we should be proud of.

As for the interview itself, it was the typical ex-MS employee who has either gone Mac or Linux. In some cases, he sounds more of a fanboi than I do :)

Though with that said, lets continue on working for world domination :p
