,----[ Quote ]
| I have said for months that Vista may be the O/S that pushes Linux
| into the mainstream. I honestly like Vista, but when I put myself
| into the seat of someone who is not very familiar with computers,
| it's a pain. Many people have spent time painstakingly learning the
| basics for their XP systems; by changing the file structure and
| even the names of the tabs so thorougly, Microsoft has put them
| back to square one, and made not only their computers, but their
| operating systems obsolete.
