Actually.. it does look good. Linux is gaining market share. Free Source. Everyone wins at the end? Well.. depend how you look at it.
One thing I hear a lot: Linux is replacing Windows. Good for Linux. I would never want something like that said about FreeBSD. While Linux is too busy replacing Windows95, FreeBSD will continue been FreeBSD.

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.
