Haven't you read "In the beginning was the command line"? The linux users stand on a corner shouting "drive away a free tank, reliable, powerful, completely free..." and everyone backs off muttering "get away from me, you weirdos" whilst heading for the nice corner where m$ are selling bicycles with bolt-on engines in a familiar, safe capitalist environment. Or something. ;-)
Of course, we all know what tanks do to bicycles :-)
Actually, I think the GNU/Linux market is far more safe free market capitalist than proprietary software. Survival of the fittest service providers in a free market, compared with legal protection of artificially-created scarcity and barriers to market entry.
