Even more OTish lets make a linux better than vista

In my opinion - should our cousins continue to act in the way they are I can see most software being created in the far, far east some 10 to 20 years hence.

Why that long?

I read an article in PC Pro (not online yet) saying that MSFTs figuresfor the pre-installed market are very optimistic and amongst manyother things from a commercial POV without WinFS there is no reason atall to upgrade. It was also said that MSFT thinks that home users withVista on pre installed machines will demand Vista at work therebydriving commercial upgrades.

Personally I think it will be the other way round, home users willdemand Vista is wiped and re-installed with XP after using 2000 / XPmachines for years at work.

I like Vista myself but can see absolutely no reason why I would wantto spend real money on it, even if it was bug free and rock solid.

Linux definately is getting closer but the real competition is goingto be XP IMO. The time is ripe for a killer Linux OS to come along butwhere is it?
