Windows Vista, The best thing that ever happened to Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux was the obvious choice for the 366 megahertz 128 mb OLPC laptop
| due to its open nature and ability to run on any virtually any
| hardware. 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.

| Anyone who has ever used a modern version of Linux will find
| nothing new feature-wise and OSX users will feel suspiciously
| at home. It is garnering criticism from all parts for many
| different reasons, with whole websites dedicated to Vista-Bashing
| and Linux downloads on a steady worldwide climb. One could be
| forgiven for thinking that there are just a whole lot of Linux
| and Mac advocates out there trying to boycott Vista by
| slandering it mindlessly. But the facts don't lie and the
| evidence is plentiful.

| This title could be used to sum up the attitude of many in the Linux
| community towards Vista at the moment. Every bad piece of press for Vista
| is good for Linux and at the moment there's plenty for Linux users to smile
| about.
