What requirements are those? MS hasn't haven't released them.

And 2005 was supposed to be the Year of Linux. So was 2004, and 2003....

Only if you consider the OEMs selling what they want to sell to be "anti-
fair trade."
I know you Linux hypocrites would love to force the OEMs to sell Linux
machines, despite the fact (that's capital FACT) that it would shortly drive
all of them out of business. You whiners believe in 'choice' only when it's
the choices you want.

KDE is a nice desktop, no doubt. Far superior to Gnome or any other Linux
window manager/desktop environment.

Don't make us laugh. Gnome-based Ubuntu is a joke. Anyone used to a real
OS like Windows will find it primitive and slow and amateurish.

As is the case with so many of the stupid MS and Windows proclamations made
by you silly cola bozos, there is NO evidence to support anything you say.
