Well it's both good and bad.
The problem is, the bulk of the RHS Linux Home Users are 14 year old drooling zit-faced teens on Cable internet lines thinking they're "eleet hax0rz" because they aren't using Windows. I'm rather glad we don't see as much of a market share in that with FreeBSD. Doesn't mean they don't run it, it just means most of them are too lazy to do a little code-warrioring to compile stuff.
Everyone wants to "be somebody".

Linux looms large: Intel, Netscape slap NT, will invest in Red Hat By [40]Robert Lemos, [41]ZDNN September 25, 1998 4:01 PM PT
It's a wake-up call for Windows NT.
On Tuesday, long-time Microsoft ally Intel Corp. and rival browser maker Netscape Communications Corp. will announce an investment in [42]Red Hat Software Inc., a distributor of the alternative operating system Linux, according to a source familiar with the deal.
The move is a major symbolic blow to Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:[43]MSFT), which has been pushing Windows NT server as a solution for Internet Service Providers.
[44][LINK] The announcement is expected to be made at ISPCon Fall '98 in San Jose, Calif., during a presentation on Linux's future in business. Intel VP and Director of Sales and Marketing Sean Maloney, Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, and Linux creator Linus Torvalds are expected to be on hand for the event.
