Several hours ago, when I posted the following news from yesterday elsewhere:
http://www.it-analysis.com/blogs/Total_Immersion/2007/11/why_i_ve_replaced_vista_with_linux.html
(Why I've replaced Vista with Linux)
People replied to say that it makes perfect sense based on their own
experiences. Vista is a resource pig (especially as far as RAM is concerned,
but it also requires the force of the CPU and the GPU... for just rendering
windows).
I admit that I never used Vista, but if you listen to what people say, then it
becomes apparent that a lot of Kool-aid has been served to the press.
