The threat here is Linux loosing intimacy with end-users, which means less “brand power,” to put it one way, that can be called on when needed to prove the worth and import of Linux. This has been tried many times over - recall the Java VM, the .Net CLR, and more - with various effects. In the currently, environment, operating systems still “matter” a great deal. The question in the cloud computing world is how much further down into Morlock land SaaS and PaaS can push Linux.
