Andy,
Just another Linux geek marketing site. It wouldn't matter if Vista were
100% defect free, which of course, even us Vista "subscribers" acknowledge
is not the case; these folks would stll attempt to get folks to move to
Linux. Heck, I don't have a problem with that because I'd bet, fully 99%
of -casual- users who ever went through the installation and -configuration-
of ANY Linux distro would come running back to Vista faster than one could
say "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya."
And... for all those Linux geeks who are getting ready to flame me; save the
bandwidth... I have no problem with Linux as an OS. It's great, if ur a
geek. And spare me the "my grandmother is running SuSE without issue."
responses. Yeah, Grandma is running SuSE because you set it up for her. Give
Grandma a SuSE CD and ask her to install and -configure- the OS... well, ah,
no?
