My favorite open source story:
I was at the #Educause Annual Conference back in the early 2010s running SLED11 with the cube enabled. I was spinning away when the person next to me asked what it was and what OS I was running. I replied, “Linux” he said, “oh, that’s for you technical types.”
Later, same scenario (different person), but when I replied, “this is is Windows Longhorn, the pre-release of Vista,” the person was so impressed with Microsoft’s innovation.
