Yes, M$ is going to make a killing on this one!
It makes me wonder how much longer users will stay in the dark before they wake up to an alternative operating system? |

Users will continue to stay in the dark until the "alternative operating systems" become much more user friendly. As much as *nix users wanna tout how easy the new distros are to use, to the average computer user out there they are still very difficult. *nix distros will continue to be the realm of "geeks/nerds" for a long while IMHO.

Here Here!
I've got a 20" imac core duo that I've had for a few weeks. Best machine I've ever owned. I HAVE WINDOWS INSTALLED TOO. But, I don't use Windows much.
I don't have much use except for a few pesky apps. There's a lot of FUD out there on OS X security. Having Dvorak diseminate some of it doesn't help much.
Sorry John, but you need to be more objective. |
