Microsoft surprised many of the attendees at its annual worldwide partner show here this weekend by allowing a third party to present a "hands-on lab" that allowed attendees to play with a range of Linux desktop software. Is Microsoft toning down on its anti-Linux campaign?

Yeah, Linux is popping up all random places! I've been using it for about 5 years now. I've noticed it:
- A walkup, pay $1 get 10 mins of internet was running linux with Galeon (why not ff, I dont know)
- Malaysia airlines use it for their entertainment system (only found this out when I saw it booting)
- I see a lot of people just using it casually now...
There are more, I just cant remember them. Having said that, I see windows waaay more than linux

,,what proof exists that Linux is increasing its market share??''
Hmmm. I knew 5 people how had Linux desktop few years ago. Now I couldn't even count'em. At my first job, there was one Linux based computer. Now I work at place where only 2 computers runs Windows.
I would say that things has changed ,,a little''.
