It is unfortunate that Cox is doing this. I've been championing a corporate shift to Linux, but no longer. The only thing worse than an unstable OS, is a fragmented, unstable development effort of an OS that is struggling for acceptance. I have serious reservations about Linuxs' future viability given this envirionment and with this emotional lashing out by one of the 'leaders' of the open source community. Bad enough we're saddled with Bill Gates. I certainly don't need to put up with this and I'm not going to bear the exposure.
