Well its very encouraging,  and debunks many of the myths about Open 
source / Free software being for geeks,  too complex,  no support etc 
etc,  ok these myths were history years ago from our point of view,  but 
now ordinary users are starting to get the message they have a choice,  
and hopefully their next purchase will take that choice into consideration.
