The MS vision of the office of the future *is* and always has been the
office of the past.
I've had more people in the last month ask me about linux than I have
in the entire year prior. And I've had a lot of people ask me about
linux in the year prior.
Every single one of them in the last month has mentioned one common
concern: Vista. To them it embodies much more than just the OS, and
includes things they don't even know the names for: lockin, DRM,
spying, cost of software, cost of hardware, etc.
No prompting from me. They're getting this information on their own.
