The time for revolution has come
,----[ Quote ]
| As you have probably guessed by now I am talking about the release of
| Windows Vista and the role it will play in computing history. It will
| either be seen as the saviour of Microsoft or as the downfall. The
| release of Vista has come at a time when Linux is at a stage when
| inexperienced computer users can install and use it for normal
| daily tasks. Linux is getting media recognition and support by
| industry giants. This has raised its stature quite considerably
| in the public eye.

| [...]
|
| The current version of Windows has become so large and unwieldy
| that ninety percent of existing computing hardware is unable
| support it. There is not enough benefit provided for average
| daily use to justify those requirements. To need to have over
| 1Gb of ram and at least 15Gb hard disk space just to install
| and run the operating system is excessive. To achieve the
| same functionality with a Linux system only 256Mb ram and 2Gb
| hard disk space is needed. That is about a quarter of what is
| needed for Vista and this means Linux can run on more than
| ninety five percent of existing hardware.
