I'm in agreement with Nebulus

I'm already starting my personal migration from windows to Linux, I find i'm booting into 98 less, and less.

I don't have a problem with palladium because I can see into the future ... (hopefully)

::: screen goes wobbly to signify time travel to December the 30th 2004 ::::

MS does what it normally does, and releases a hugely bug riddled OS called Palladium. people start to realise that they can no longer borrow a friends CD to listen to on their new, but expensive PC,added to this all their old MP3s no longer play (rightly or wrongly)

But hold on a moment there is this OS called Linux. It's totally free, or at least fairly cheap, and it'll still do all the things that my old PC could, and the writers of the OS don't want to monitor my every act. Sure it's a bit harder to really get to grips with, but still ...

::: back to today ::::

I really think MS are heading for a fall over this, who are the people who really download music, films etc? In my opinion it's the more tech savvy parts of the population esp the young. These are the puirchasing managers, the HR people, the IT specialists of both today, and tomorrow.

Try as I might, I can't stop myself from allowing my increasing anti MS sentiment creap into the decisions I make at work. that's why we now have 7 Red Hat Linux servers.

And it's suddenly getting easier to sell to the directors .. for a start they've now heard of it, there's support avaliable, and they're still smarting at the last FAST, BSA audit, and the new expense of MS's improved licensing squeeze.

I'm not a Linux Evangelist , "But Hey, I'm making the switch" And I do have purchasing influence.
