Save XP? Why bother?

| If you read a lot of the comments that people have been adding on the Save XP
| pages, you might note that an awful lot of people say, "Go to Linux,"
| or "That's why I use Linux." You know, I've never heard a Mac user complain
| about Apple or their Mac, nor a Linux user complain about Red Hat or whatever
| version they are using. That's not to say they don't have problems; they just
| keep the discussion among themselves. But they are having a field day
| watching Microsoft users fight each other. Ever think they're the ones
| stirring up this whole Save XP campaign?

At the moment, Microsoft uses the typical shills (e.g. Ina Fried) to poison the
press with positive Vista publicity. Media control and shills is all that
is...

| Infoworld is hosting a petition to save XP since it will be discontinued on
| June 16th, 2008. I think we as pro-Linux advocates should be vehemently
| against this since Vistal will drive droves of people towards Linux,
| *desktop* Linux. Vista is actually the best thing that could have happened to
| Linux is a LONG while. I'm betting that Microsoft is already working full
| speed to get the next version of Windows out the door since the uptake of
| Vista is both dismall and alienating their user base.
