Is Linux a Lonely Word?

"Yesterday as I was sitting in a cafe having a drink, I caught up on my New York Times business section. In a review of the new class of Mini-Notebooks, I wasn't surprised to see Linux mentioned.

While I wasn't surprised to see Linux mentioned, I was surprised by my reaction.

"Just last year I would have leaped out of my chair (spilling my drink) and shouted to uninterested cafe neighbors, 'Hey, look! The New York Times is writing about Linux on the desktop...!'"
