OK since MS is not likely to hand over their code. let's look at another possibility that's not all that remote. Let's assume the LINUX overcomes it's greatest weakness (consumer acceptance) and gets the lions share in the OS market. In that situation who are the winners and who are the loosers? Who would win and why? Who would loose and why? Would you be one of the winners or one of the loosers?
