Linux has won

  So, while I've been slaving away in the world of corporate IT, it
appears Linux has quietly won the OS war.  I just didn't notice.
Linux may already be out-shipping Microsoft Windows.

  Work has me shopping for a large flat panel display for a conference
room.  It appears that it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to
buy a TV that is not running Linux internally.  Every manufacturer
spec I've seen so far has had a GPL notice pointing to Linux kernel
source code.  And while personal computers have certainly much more
pervasive over the years, they've still got nothing on the boob tube.
