If I had told you that your VW Passat costs a hundred thousand dollars on our sales talk - you wouldn't buy - even if I promise you, that your replacement key will be for free :-) I have some doubts that linux & net will change the economy - someone always has to pay for work (or no one will work). I agree that there will be a "shift". Software will be for free, but services will be more expensive than ever (look at IBM's business model) - and than your even more deep back in jail (look at MS business model)?
