Linux use doesn't go beyond file servers or print servers because the applications aren't there.

Emulation is slower, sometimes much slower, than applications that run natively.

With some applications you notice the emulation more than others. The applications may not be as responsive when you first open them. For the person that bought the Intel-based Mac and is looking for that performance increase, the bigger bang will come from the native code.

[The lesson both Microsoft and Linux supporters should take from the survey results?] Nobody buys an operating system, ... They buy applications. The operating system is there for the application.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
