Is Vista A Disaster? (need you ask?)
.----
| Vista is "goatware", it eats all your resources. I guess we should
| be used to new versions of Windows being greedy. It’s part of
| Microsoft’s business plan for Windows to make old PCs obsolescent
| as quickly as possible. But Vista is unusually greedy. Remember
| that Vista was 7 years a-cooking, rather than the usual 3 years, so
| maybe it packs in a double dose of resource hunger.

| There are a number of factors at work in respect of Linux.
|
| The primary one is that, at last, with Ubuntu, there’s a Linux
| distribution that is truly user friendly. There’s also the fact
| that the $100 PC is now in play (albeit for $200) and this will
| inevitably grow the market for Linux PCs. Finally, there’s a
| low-end PC market which cares not to pay for Windows. PCs sold
| through Wal Mart in the US and Tesco in the UK are Linux, with a
| whole swathe of open source applications loaded.
