out of the underground yet. What is this guy implying, that linux is not in the underground still? Not sure how it can get pushed back when it never left. Duh! I think in the meantime, we will find Linux in the hood and backstreet alleys practicing its shady art. Linux is fraternizing with crazy orientals, east Europeans and South Americans. I also get glimpses of Linux at speakeasys drinking moonshine and smoking unfiltered cigarettes. Go linux, live the life those not in the underground can't do without being hypocrites.
Oh yeah, I don't own a trade rag and accept ad revenue. I think these rags must run dumbest prediction and hand out the Nostradamus award.
In all seriousness, I had no idea Linux had eclipsed Apple in the first place. Who wants apple OS anyways? There is no upgrade path unless you buy a new machine. And I don't know anyone upgrading to Vista as the hardware upgrade path is going to take a big investment for what return - the same return I am getting out of XP. What more do I need in my computer that I don't already have? Is VISTA taking that big of an innovative leap that I won't be able to do without. The game industry is the only thing that is pushing me to ugrade since they failed to embrace an open graphics package. I don't know why the game industry feels that people should pay a Microsoft tax just to game. Complete bullshit and an overhead that I don't feel I should have to pay to play a game. So, games don't just cost $60, they make sure you support the 800# gorilla and pay homage to the liege Bill Gates.
