Vista - Just watch the panic!
I actually love Linux.
The username is a joke.

I Love Linux because it gives me security without the
need for
constant updating.
Sure I do the updates, but at my own pace and when it
has the
least impact on my current setup.

But now you MUST follow the upgrade path to Vista or
you'll be
left behind the the Windows rat race!

Not me.

I'm fully stitched up with Linux: Fedora and Ubuntu.
I have Windows on Freeware emulation with QEMU if I
need it,
which I have to say sometimes I do.

Just watch the white faced panic from the
Windows "sysadmins"
as they now have to deploy the upgrades. shocked

It's Linux's time now.
Microsoft are even admitting this by buying into
Novell.
Motorola are producing mainstream Linux handsets with
the MOTORIZR Z6.

I'm just going to sit back and watch the panic.
It's going to be easy pickings for the unix sysadmins.
