Apple and Linux are engaged in battle a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

I predict that free software will not become a major player in industrialized nations unless economic conditions either causes hardware to become unaffordable forcing users to cut cost by any measure or a recession pushes large business to seriously consider cutting IT costs by moving their desktop clients to a free software platform. Once the industrialized nations adopt free software other nations will fall in line. This of course is as long as users don't just move to online applications (i.e. a Google platform).
So, I ask if the price of broadband is forced higher because of economic conditions at what price would you drop your high speed connection?
