Well, I ment for example, microsoft is going to have to be compatible with linux, instead of the other way around, because of its openess (linux openess) it's no big deal for microsoft to become compatible. But that's only going to happen once linux has a decent marketshare (for around 25% I think), and then I mean office suits and stuff like that. And I think the only place where linux can show it's mature enough is asia, because the market is still groing, people aren't that dependant on m$ there, yet. In the western countries it's a problem to change because you're making yourself incompatible with the rest, since almost everyone has a computer and hence windows or m$ office.
