First article is from 2001?

Old and long patched news. And it mentions some exploits from '98 that were in IE3 and fixed in IE4. Sure, there are still problems but don't dip so deep into the well.

The second article, key phrases...

"Linux isn't perfect"

"If Linux continues to improve at its current rate, it'll be very close to Windows XP in a year or two"

"Few clear "best of breed" applications have emerged, and one still feels like Linux is the software equivalent of a pickup basketball game."

"Bottom line: Desktop Linux is friendlier than ever and will do just about everything you need right out of the box. More promising, Linux has proceeded so far so fast that in the next year or two, its few remaining "user-confuser" traits should be gone for good."

So, it seems that the writer of that article agrees with me, that Linux is close, but no cigar, for many typical home uses plus it still has some, but not as many, hardware driver issues. Based on what I've read from that writer and others, it looks like Xandros is the one to try.
