all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.

Absolutely wild brand activation tactics from the Linux marketing team.

    Having someone to complain to/point fingers at/sue is incredibly important in the business world, and a big part of why M$ is so big.

    In fact, just having support is a big thing. Look at how shitty M$ support is. Or Cisco, for that matter.

    Not to mention a steady, predictable, accountable release cadence.

    If you want that, in the Linux world, it's basically Ubuntu/Canonical, RedHat/IBM, or Oracle/Oracle.

    I'd call Canonical the lessest of 3 evils here...
