And in Vancouver as well, almost close enough to Redmond to throw Vista

I'm sure we'll see more and more of these stories. It's a funny thing,
but the desktop battle wasn't really about Linux winning, it was about
when Microsoft were going to lose, and perhaps, how they were going to
lose. It would appear that Vista was the final drop of lubricant
required for many organisations.
