Gutsy Gibbon versus Vista Ultimate

,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to using the Moomex themes for both Compiz and Gnome, I haven’t lost 
| any eye candy either; its appearance is just as high tech and elegant as that 
| of Vista. The other new installation I’ve made was to put on the Swiftweasel 
| Browser. This has proven to be incredibly fast - far outstripping Firefox on 
| Vista.

Dell casts doubts on Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| Dell today revealed that it will restore the option to use Windows XP on
| some of its home systems, marking a potentially damaging blow to
| Microsoft's hopes for the newer Windows Vista.
| 
| [...]
| 
| While a popular request through the company's IdeaStorm website, the
| choice was substantially outnumbered by requests for pre-installed
| Linux, US-based technical support, and other features -- pointing to a 
| larger general demand for the change. The turnaround may be a reflection of 
| an overall backlash against Vista, observed IDC analyst Richard Shim.
