People here highly underestimate the effect linux will have on society if it actually gets ANY marketshare.

Dont you mean free software?

Linux already has a great marketshare - Android - but no perceptible effect on society, most people dont still know what Linux is, and certainly not what freedom in software is about. Which sucks, but thats the way it is, and once that changes, then we're in for great times.
