Personally, though, I get more excited when I hear about a new commercial
software release for Linux than I do when I hear about a new free software
release (Unless it's a new emulator for something :) ).  When commercial
stuff gets released, it adds credibility and 'supported software support'
to the OS, which makes it more likely to attract more users and switch
people away from Win95/MacOS.
