Since more than 50% of servers run Linux (is this still accurate ?) they have only one major foothold left ... the proles, I mean the public. Really I don't think I can go out there and hand out CDs come October (next month) ... maybe I'll just try to spread the word as much as possible till then. Yeah, how about I add a link to the Linux wiki everywhere I can. I think M$ has a good chance of taking a major blow for fucking up Vi$ta so bad.

It can take a major blow, but nobody who is computer illiterate is going to be willing to change to anything but Vista. They still probably believe the old Mac myths and they'd think Linux would be so obscure that they wouldn't even use it, and you can't convince them otherwise. They're too closed minded to try anything else. Those are the kind of people MS is relying on to use Vista, and surprisingly it will work until the next generation steps in.

Unfortunately, I think you're right :( ... I realized that yesterday. But, maybe they can learn ? Can they ? No, they're not motivated enough to. Maybe when Window$ is compromised enough security-wise they may switch.

Aloone_Jonez:
They talk about beta testers when they're realy talking about alpa testers. The real beta testers will be the people who'll buy the first milion copies.

worker201:
Well, it's October now.  I see no Vista.

Maybe later this month?
