Listen to yourself. You act as if the only two operating systems in existance are Linux and Windows. You fail to address: Solaris, Net/Open/Trusted/FreeBSD, MacOS, IRIX, SCO, etc. etc..
I find this especially amusing that you retaliate with a Linux flame as a comment to an article related to SUN.
As to your comment that thinking Microsoft is going down is a dream: If the government wasn't on MS's ass I would probably say the same thing.
Linux isn't any more beta than Windows is. Windows users just have enough patience with MS to have to download bug fixes the day they get the O/S. I can't wait to see Windows running on the X-Box. I don't think the console gaming community is going to appreciate having to hook up their console to a phone jack and wait a few hours while it downloads X-Box SP1. But then again this isn't about Linux (why did you bring it up?) and this isn't about X-Box (my fault).
