The creator of Linux is excited about solid-state drives, expects progress in graphics and wireless networking, and says the operating system is strong in virtualization despite his personal lack of interest in the area.

Well, "The Computer" IS Microsoft if you like it or not. For example here are latest statistics from my country (Poland). According to them currently about 0,5 % of PC is being connected to the Internet using Linux:
Windows XP 90.8%
Windows Vista 3.8%
Windows 98 2.3%
Windows 2000 1.7%
Linux 0.5%
MacOS X 0.2%

As you can see there are still almost four times more Win2000 desktops connected to the Internet, than Linux machines. And all that is happening in Europe, where awareness of open source is much more widespread compared to US. (see statistics of Firefox adoption)

No, they must ask and compare.
There are countless millions of people who think "The Computer" is Microsoft...
There are many more who think Linux=Linus
