yeah, I know Linux has issues (I still use windows ). but if you are a country that is way down on the economic ladder, what would you do – pay exhorbitant amounts for new computers or get used ones for cheap and an OS for nothing ?

I’ll put it like this; I haven’t used IE for two years. It came with my computer,but the free stuff is getting better, and I use Opera now. I got tired of getting viruses that were incurable because IE can’t be uninstalled and reinstalled. I’m just saying give it time. Once the impetus is there things can happen real fast.

I have never seen a spec that calls for 1800MB/sec video memory transfer speed. I have seen AGP 4x and 8x, but nothing like a specific number. 256MB graphics card? 1GB system RAM? Are these people insane? Only the most intensive games, like Doom 3, have requirements that are even close to that.

In other words, I have to have a $7,000 gaming machine just to run an OS. What a joke. Microsoft lays another turd.

WGA is usually cracked within 20 minutes each time M$ tries to patch it up. I believe the design standard for Vista is that it should be secure for at least 45 minutes.

ya, ya, linux lovers have been telling us for a decade now that they are going to take over Windows and rule the world.

*yawn*, I’m really tried of hearing it.

If it was any good it would have done so by now.

Never forget, it your Hardware and you can do with it as you like. You do not need Microsoft, but Microsoft needs you.

Amazing things are happing in FLOSS systems. Microsoft is a large business but they are just blip on FLOSS enviorment where likes of IBM, Novel, Sun are riviles who are using software.

If want to have some fun with GFX Workbench on Linux have look at XGL.

The only way this will get onto desktops is by forcing it as OEM onto new machines. Hopefully, new machines that will not be bought. Microsoft has just killed any incentive for technical advance.
