True. In fact, since Ubuntu Dapper was out, the only real argument i've heard against Linux was "It doesn't run Counterstrike". Which, as we know, isn't completely true either.
Microsoft are trying their best at making their products incompatible with anything else, even earlier versions of it's *own* OS! I'm not a marketing specialist, but I can predict they will, at some point, feed up the world with their strategy. And then it won't actually matter will it be Mac or Linux that rules the world for next couple of decades.
Add my mother, my neighbor, my 11yo sister and a couple of classmates. None have used linux before and none have any problems with Ubuntu.
When I say it I mean it: Ubuntu is 10 times user frendlier than Windows.
The main purpose of Vista is to position 5 year old OSX & Linux features as Micro-and-soft's "NEW! Innovative technology never seen before!!!" before the market does finally realize that weendoze is by all parameters most sucking OS on the market.
Come on, if five years ago "i can't run my favourite *** on Linux" was one of the reasons to stay on Windows, now it's the ONLY one - and Microsoft is starting to lose that too...

Am I wrong or there isn't a single Linux UMTS device in the world? Why?
Greenphone isn't a consumer phone, released in limited quantities and costs $700 ;)

Get a Mac! Get Ubuntu! Get the point, at last!
