I left Windows when OS X UNIX first came out--leaving only my game PC (besides my Debian server). Now even the game PC is gone. I have no regrets. I am looking forward to Leopard and upgrade my dual G5 to a quad core Xeon. Yum. Ig Ubuntu isn’t ready enough for you, go Mac adn OS X UNIX.

And I know they'd be annoyed to death to have to punch in a password every time they need to run a system app. Until a Linux version is created that's as comfortable to use as Windows (generally is), looks like the majority of PC users will be stuck with it.

Vista is unacceptable both on a performance and cost basis. Vista will drive many people into the arms of the Penguin, most likely Ubuntu. I will be making the switch as soon as the new hardware, recently ordered, arives. XP has serious problems and Microsoft support will decrease after the public release of Vista.
