Delighted to hear it bro! - May I point out that "business types (who don't
know any better...&c)" CAN come over to the Unix side: I was one and I did,
precisely because of the crashing and viruses.

Our sysadmin convinced me to ditch Win entirely, in 1997/8, and since then
in my (biz consulting) company alone some 35 people got to work with Sun
and Linux, with FOSS philosophy: more than half never looked at M$ again...
and several became "IT savvy" enough to pursue projects or careers in IT.

Maybe with Openindiana we shouldn't miss out on our little bit of
Evangelism...
