Last week I focused on Windows Vista and how things didn’t look particularly good for that product, at least not right now. I also mentioned that neither Apple nor Linux was likely to be able to take advantage of a Microsoft stumble. However, I didn’t explain why, in addition, I was focused on the developed world and I have been reminded that in places like India where different rules apply, Linux is already a viable competitor. As a result, this week, I’ll complete the parts I left out in last week’s column.
