You don't curse the hand that feeds you.
Should we also expect SJVN, who is not being directly or indirectly
compensated by any Linux company by the way, to tell us that Vista is
"highly recommended"? Another guy whose living is made through Windows and
Microsoft found Vista appalling and rejected it. He's one among several
disappointed Microsoft MVPs, some of which have begun exploring GNU/Linux.
