It's one word, Integration. Most of our young developers are Xbox users as well. Xbox and Windoze integration make for some mighty tempting code to write.
I could be full of it, who knows. I've been on Linux since the Red Hat 6.0 days, but heck, I still use W7 for my real entertainment stuff, it's cheaper than buying a Roku box for DRM issues.
This whole copyright issue is such a non-starter, greedy lawyers (who get paid more in this country than anywhere else in the world). Between all of the polyinitial companies in this country, I'd like to say "who cares" about what they (lawyers) think, regardless of the side the lawyer is on.
I apologize to artists if they feel that they don't make enough money from tours, box office sales or whatever, but that is too bad, their chosen profession guarantees they will be paid well, but I guess this whole business of copyright, the MPAA and the RIAA have squeezed out the middle man, the lawyer.
Windows is like an old whore, she has her ways, she has her Johns, but her time is passing as she shows her age. She charges for everything as she know, soon it will ber her time to retire.
I keep windows xp pro around for Rainbow Six and little more, most of my computing consists of multimedia streaming, entertainment, my business Accounting and Web Site, all of which I trust to the secure and stable Ubuntu.
I agree with Gartner groups, Ubuntu will quietly take over the desktop world as Vista unravels. I purchesed Vista in the hopes of seeing my 64 Bit investment pay off. Vista Ultimate now sits on my shelf and my primary machine, an AMD X2 is running Ubuntu 7.01, smoothly, securely and with no hassle. Yes there are almost managable daily security patches, which run far more smoothly than the Vista process did.
