“LinuxMall.com, the largest supplier of Linux-related
products in the world, has released a bold mission statement that
directly challenges Bill Gates and Microsoft’s domination of the
operating system marketplace.”

“Mark Bolzern, president and CEO of LinuxMall.com, said that
while the growth of the Linux operating system will impact
Microsoft’s market share, the increasing popularity of Linux simply
reflects the desire for a better operating system choice.”

” ‘We’re not anti-Microsoft per se, but we are pro-Linux,’ said
Bolzern. ‘If making Linux mainstream means that Microsoft has to
lose some market share, that’s okay with us.’ “
