<br>forums these days. Windows Vista "costs too much," "has onerous product<br>activation," "requires too much hardware," etc. These complaints are<br>often followed up by a very simple boast: "I'm just going to switch to
<br>Linux (or Mac)."<br><br>But in today's landscape, how viable is that statment? Is the threat to<br>switch to Linux an empty one, or is it entirely possible? Linux on the<br>desktop has been viable for years, especially for programming gurus who
<br>can solve their Linux problems by simply writing new software. It also<br>seems to be viable for "Mom and Pop" end-users who just want a machine<br>to write letters, send email, and browse the Web (although, admittedly,
<br>a guru will probably have to set it up for them)<br>"""<br><br>-Jonathan<br><br>--<br>sounder mailing list<br><a href="mailto:sounder at lists.ubuntu.com">sounder at lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at:
