“There was an article published recently on Linuxpower.com that
stated, in essence, that Linux will cease to improve in quality if
there is no Microsoft monopoly to compete against. I strongly feel
that this is not the case.”

There are two major reasons why Linux will continue to
develop, no matter what the competition
:

  • Linux does not need competition in the traditional sense. It
    never has, and it never will.
  • Even if the first point is false, we know that there will
    always be some type of competition in the computing market.”
