Intel shows Vista the cold shoulder - or even MS altogether?

The Microsoft users disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible advancement of all existing technological conditions. Let Microsoft tremble at a open source and freeware revolution. Microsoft has nothing to lose but their bankruptcy. They have a world to win. USERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Is anyone realy surprised??? Microsoft had this coming for so long. The fact that there are now other OS out there that are good to go, means the days of just dropping it on the consumer and saying live with it are long gone!

Well, a few days ago I had a first check with sites dealing with Linux, and must say I found it extremely diffiocult to make any sense of it, for there is so much stuff and different versions and needed moduels around. also, one cannot say that bthe driver support is ideal, for manufacturers avoid Linux drivers, becaseu they would constantly need to adapt them to changes. It may be that Linux can be individually designed to meet individual personal demands, but to get started with it from scratch is by far not an inviting idea. as long as that stays that way and newcomers are not better supported in an easy install-and-go-kind of style, windows will always remain to be a dominant OS, especially for many older users. Maybe I jump to Linux in the future indeed, but my curiosity for the moment has faded...
