Wow...I was ready to dismiss this quote, as I do all quotes from news sites
that have the word "Linux" in them (preaching to the converted) until I see
that it's from CNN Money.   Holy moley, TSHHTFs!    

If CNN is calling the whole Windows family a *monster*, there's gotta be
something going on!   And what's more, I thought that this would be the
typical Establishment article, which would say something like "oh, yes, all
those other earlier versions of Windows are bad, so you should upgrade to
Vista".   But it doesn't!   It's saying that's it has already been hacked,
and the Dr. Frankensteins are cackling like mad scientists!
