Well, it definitely appears end-user adoption of Linux has plateaued.

Oh, just a mere 61,800 Linux "[NEWS]" digests and pro-Linux/anti-MS 
propaganda posts he spammed to cola over the years.

On Jul 12 2006 alone he made 35 of them.

retired from govt

"According to her husband, Bram Peper, from 1993 to 2001 Kroes relied on 
astrologers and clairvoyants for personal and business advice."

Sounds like Red Hat.

Yes, either by thread name or discussion.

In mid-2007 or thereabouts, Neelie Kroes said:

<quote>
"You can't draw a line and say exactly 50 (percent) is correct, but a
significant drop in [Windows] market share is what we would like to 
see," she said.
</quote>


And the EU Competition Commission did use Windows to prepare their 
anti-MS whines; you could download various .pdf files at the time and 
check the properties and see they used Windows-only software to prepare 
them.
