but will they run Linux?
Hey... someone had to say it. I just hope I'm not around when the first virus is written for it. Who knows what a crazed person might do with one of them.
It's nice to see that Microsofts whole "Its not ours, we don't profit from we why should we acknowledge it's existence" attitude is really starting to hurt it more than ever. I can't use msn's video because I don't/can't have Internet explorer, and on the virtualization side, I'm sure a big reason it isn't taking off is because it won't install to Linux or BSD. Most people that are interested in virtualization, as far as I know, are Linux and BSD users wanting to run Windows. If Microsoft had a virtual environment ported to Linux or BSD, I would try it. Maybe I would use it... but probably not. It would at least grab my attention.
You're going to put this on your mac?!? Get the Mac away before it catches Vistas coodies. I saw an interesting acrostic (or whatever) for Vista somewhere. It went: Viruses Intruders Spyware Trojans Adware
D) There have been false reports of pirated software.
Yea, I was talking to a friend of mine who sells laptops. He had some IBMs with legit copies of XP on them, but when people tried to run update it said the copies were "suspicious" and put the "Activate" thing on the start menu. Come to find out that it was just Internet Explorer 6 was blocking some Active-x controls. The whole thing was a tech support nightmare. People who bought them off eBay were calling him and accusing him of selling illegal copies of XP.
IBM *never* supported Linux on their Thinkpad laptop line
"ThinkPad Series A and Series T are available with OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4. The ThinkPad T22 is the first Linux computer ever to ship a licensed software DVD player, the InterVideo LinDVD." I'm guessing this also means that there were laptops to have linux preloaded on them before the a and t series.
You make it seem so negative. Need I remind you that Redhat and Novell have stocks? Even though they're corporations, both of them have distributions of Linux that are in distrowatch.com's top three.
This only means I won't be trying Vista. I'd rather keep just Linux than mess it all up trying to dual boot with something I don't care for. Sucks for Microsoft since Vista could have been the Windows that made me switch back.
What happened to consumers telling corporations what they want? Ehe, why would I care anyway? It doesn't matter to me what Real has to say, their formats suck anyway.
This is the reason I awitched to Gentoo. All the garbage I didn't need (such as having kedit, kate, and kwrite installed after I did a server install of Ubuntu and apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) isn't there. My total install of Gentoo with KDE is about a gig compared to the 2-3 with some others. Granted, I still recommend Kubuntu to people who are new or don't feel like configuring things, so I don't hate the distro... there's just unnecessary bloat.

Human contact causes discoloration in items!
Or, in other words, it's to be expected. Mac users just need to wash their hands a little more.
Maybe the internet is broke too.

But this time, instead of tea, we'll be dumping spam.

Maybe it will make it run faster. Anything java automatically drags my systems down bad.

If Oracle bought SuSE, couldn't the SuSE team just start another distribution with the same underlaying content, but a different name?
It's the ultimate scam!

Normally after the third page the links are too irrelevant. On a side note, who here ever actually clicks googles sponsored links?
I've never tried ArchLinux. I guess I will now... Thanks for the idea.

This is what I have been wanting to go to college for, but I've been scared that the job market is too saturated.
