It is not only the OS alone that makes the difference. Its the apps, stupid. And so long that key applications will be available only for Windows platform, there will be no major switch. Linux is better than Windows, that is pretty much clear to everybody involved. But that statement relates to the OS alone. Can i have my SPSS on linux? (it doesn't even work with wine). And that wine argument doesn't really hold up because just by knowing about the existence of Wine would put you in the %5 of the population. And for the majority of people, "good enough" is just what they want. Talk about means.

For, since the tragic death of her father--
AC:
He's not quite dead!
FATHER:
Since the near fatal wounding of her father--
AC:
He's getting better!
FATHER:
For, since her own father, who, when he seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him.
AMD:
Uugh!
AC:
Oh, he's died!
well i am not going to change my battery every 4 years. i change it after 2-3 hours on a long journey. this is why it is a big deal. And as for the patches thingy, clearly you haven't used System Update on your thinkpad. It updates based on your specific model.
we will just have to sit and wait how google is going to fare with support for the big manufacturers. Oh wait, did i say support? I meant automated email reply.:)
well, yea... how many? i want to know too. because i haven't reverted. i bet you can't name a number without being pulled out of the hat. parent was right.
I thought you meant Jenna Jameson for president! Victory ! But then i saw 2032, and I knew something was wrong. But you must admit a slogan like "White House, here i come", would be cool on so many levels.:)
not wanting to be rude, but slashdot is posting some story about thermostats and meanwhile KDE 4.0 is out, but there is no story about it. or did i miss it?

I think that on/. people are quite easily rewarded for being funny. I think you are being an asshat, and a major one at that. Pogue's mistakes have been already pointed out in this wonderful evening, and i think better than i could do it. Please read, there are plenty of +5 interesting and + 5 insightful comments here regarding that. And as for my conflict of interests, i didn't receive 2700 USD for a review like he did.

it must have been Doug Piranha. Sarcasm, dramatic irony, metaphor, pathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire. Nobody can escape that. :)

Here, the whole story with much more info.
what model do you have?
that is because they are from Russia. And just because it is not Oxford english, their reviews still better the ones from Pogue.
