Vistification - a temporoary drive to Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Rupert's just said again what I've been hearing in various places:
| Vista's awkwardness is going to drive people to Linux.
|
| That's something I heard when Specavers moved to Linux. They'd been thinking
| about moving before, but there was always a barrier - the cost of retraining.
|
| Vista is gratuitously different from Windows XP. So different that it will
| take as much retraining (Vistification?) to get a user started on Vista, as
| it would to get them shifted to Linux. On Rupert's experience, probably more.

The same goes for MSO07 and OOo.
