IBM tried to kill Windows so people would use OS/2. Microsoft took a huge risk by taking on IBM. I've tried using Linux for years, and it's still a terrible user experience. Any modification of your hardware is horrible. Windows usually picks up the change and just works. Linux is much better than it used to be, but it still can't compare to the setup experience of Windows.
the Democratic candidates who, as of November 14, had won Republican-held seats in the November 7 midterm elections have said they support central issues in the Democratic platform -- raising the minimum wage, changing course in Iraq, and opposing any effort to privatize Social Security. Also, these new Democrats largely agree on the most contentious social issues of the day; as Media Matters has noted, all but two of the 28 newly elected Democrats (as of November 14) support embryonic stem cell research and only five describe themselves as "pro-life" on the issue of abortion.
