Apple and Microsoft Running Out of Cash Cows is an Opportunity for GNU/Linux
In the past 6 months Microsoft's debt skyrocketed (about 2.5 billion dollars in debt per month) and this past year Apple's debt rose by about 16 billion dollars.
They make all sorts of distractions from the fact that Windows isn't doing well and 'i' things don't sell well.
For GNU/Linux, the pain of those companies (ignore their Wall Street lies) and their mass layoffs mean that there's an opportunity for marketing, advocacy etc.
Many people are currently looking for a "way out" (from Windows, from Apple gadgets and so on) and nobody buys ads to advertise Free software. So it needs to be a pro bono, community-centric endeavour. █
