Why all Vista users should upgrade to Windows XP

,----[ Quote ]
| Honestly, I must congratulate Microsoft on a job well done. Sure, it has lost 
| its focus, gutted its new operating system just to get it out the door, 
| buckled under the pressure of computer manufacturers who hate its new OS and 
| created a ludicrous version scheme that does nothing but confuse people, but 
| it has done something right: it has created a stellar upgrade to Windows 
| Vista.

XP SP3 versus Leopard? XP SP3 versus Linux? Microsoft has seriously fallen
behind.

The Longest Suicide Note in History

| Gutmann: The genie's out of the bottle before the operating system has even
| been released! But that doesn't mean Vista users in particular - and
| the computer community at large - won't end up paying for Microsoft's
| DRM folly. At the risk of repeating myself repeating myself, yet
| another reason to move to Linux.

Windows Vista, The best thing that ever happened to Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Millions of these units have been ordered by Countries such as
| Nigeria and Libya and pretty soon there will be millions of
| children around the world with Linux as their first operating
| system.
| 
| In stark contrast Microsoft have just released Windows Vista,
| probably the most resource hungry Operating System ever, for 
| the PC platform.

Linux gains despite and because of Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the heightened competition over the last two quarters from 
| Microsoft-Novell and a move by Oracle to undercut Red Hat on the cost of Red 
| Hat Linux support service, Red Hat has reported double-digit growth in 
| revenue and an increase in profit.   
| 
| “The success of Red Hat has been able to validate the future potential for 
| open source software,” Szulik says. 
| 
| Emerging countries are also lucrative markets for Linux, says IDC’s Gillen, 
| because there isn’t as much of the legacy Windows technology to have to 
| displace.
