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.

Linux vendors live, die and work in capitalistic environment. They need to follow the rules in order to survive and make money.
Xandros is "bad", Linspire is "bad". Novell is "bad". RedHat is "good" now, but they have been "bad" couple of years ago.
Debian was always "good", but they don't make money at all.
There is no "good" or "bad", all of them are trying to make living. And all of them are offering, at least, one variant of their distribution for free.

Ah, "anti-capitalistic". Like capitalism is an unblemished virtue. Just say left-leaning/communist, why don't you.
