Nobody want to join your cult.
Why do you care if I buy Vista or not. Is it going to cause you great pain to think I don't want to use Linux?

Yeah Linux has been FREE forever now and still hardly anyone uses it. Think about that for a minute. Your name is Linux GEEK. Most people aren't computer geeks and thus is why they don't use Linux. People want something simple and easy to use. 99.99% of people are very ignorant on how their computers even work and yet you want them to use Linux?

Just because you live in your mommas basement and spend your days playing World of Warcraft and wearing your Star Trek uniforms with your geek buddies, doesn't mean everyone else does.

I'm getting Vista and I hope that makes you go insane.
