There are many signs that M$
is in trouble and that Vista is a failure.
It came with my new laptop and runs OK here. In fact, I quite like it.
My kids used to like the tellytubbies.
I don't see my "converting" all the machines in the house to it (even
though I can get the upgrades at a good price via my education discount)
but, as they are replaced, I can see it being adopted chez-nous.
OTOH, having tried a number of the various "flavour of the moment" Linux
versions, they never seem quite worth the trouble of the install.
Flavour of the moment is for the feckless. If you liked something,, say a
house but which needed some work in order for you to enjoy living there
then you'd sort it presumably. It's the same with linux. With a little
work you end up with a superior product. Vista aero is crap in comparison
to Beryl or compiz fuzion if you are into looks :-)
