Though there are a lot fewer Linux virus running around unchecked, though even as a Linux user I must admit that is largely a product of small market share
Vista sacrifices backwards compatibility for real progress. While M$ failed to deliver the real progress, the sentiment shouldn't be made fun of. Wait for every piece of software made for XP to be ported to Vista before you call it "ready for public release", and you'll never get a new OS.
Microsoft seems to have it backwards. When it comes to standards, they advocate choice. When it comes to software, they advocate monoculture. This may be the most revealing statement ever made about M$.
If you have a modern machine, and aren't doing remote graphic design, a VM would probably handle all of your needs for work. When 2.6.20 goes live you'll even be able to play with KVM in the mainline kernel.
