I think he's just saying that things couldn't be going much better for
Linux than they are already.

It really is rather spooky, almost!

Current word is that Microsoft has no anti-Linux stuff underway at the
moment because everything they have tried so far has blown up in their
faces. Thanks, I think, to Eric Raymond's alertness, zillions of Linux
sympathizers everywhere, and Linux-friendly media. Plus, of course, the
minor matter that Linux does objectively beat the pants off Windows. :)
