"Reports from Seattle Post-Intelligencer, ECommerce Times and others herald Microsoft's decision to sink $500,000 into an advertising campaign to keep control of the desktop."

Bwahaha! Burn that cash.

Is my arithmetic correct? $11.9 billion from VCs into IT, 45% to software, $190 million to "pure open source" companies means 4% of software investments went to those pure open source businesses?
