Looks like some miscommunication. I saw the point in the email saying "why should we care about such persons" (meaning those who are using linux not because they favour open source pholisoply, but because it suites their business (or cost) needs.
I was pointing out that Linux /has/ to cater to this group also. Apparently, you said the same think, but I though you were saying the opposite.
Now I am confused as to whether you made the original statement or it was quoted from previous mails. Anyway, the point has been made by both of us and all others, so lets not follow this branch further.
