this would not be quite true though. Linux is a competitor to windows.
Depending on how DotGNU and .NET ends up being implemented, anything
using that architecture could still have to go through servers in Redmond
(as it is currently described, authentication from .NET *has* to come
from Microsoft).
So, DotGNU is something that help Windows spread its liscensing regime to
more places. Of course, all of this depends on how Microsoft ends up
decided to implement its authentication services, but given past
behavior, i know where the smart money should be.
