The best part is those "Internet user" numbers and how some obscene
percentage are using IE.  China has the capacity to swing that
pendulum.  I've seen predictions that within the next couple of years
China will surpass the USA in the number of 'net connected computers -
if Linux becomes even a moderately prevelant desktop OS there.... its
all good.  That plus India and Germany (where Linux seems to be doing
VERY well), the Linux desktop just won't be "ignorable" anymore.
