vista is making people switch to linux?

It happened with Ie7 came out... it make people switch to firefox,
not Vista is making people switch to linux?

is vista the self destruction of MS (as I predicted), or not?

and interesting read here... although this person has some holes
in his knowledge about windows as well as linux... its still interesting
to see this trend...see the comments too

2 things i can see that keeps the majority of users at the moment.
or "for the moment" regardless what OS were talking about

- Compability Vs Stability of software such as documents and databases
- Games and Multimedia

But it is only a matter of time before it all works ACROSS all platforms
ALL windows, linux/unix versions and what else you might dust up out there.
so in the end it will be just like now some major labels some rebels and
some
like Mac that dont have any buisness being here at all..

But the end for some seriously doubt it, ewen the small freeware ones.
arent excaktly "that small" they will also survive just like the huge
"OVERPRICED"
commercial onces will.

and in 10 years this excakt same conversation will take place once again
so lets stop wasteing bandtwidth on this.. lmao..

I killed my post... so here is the correct phrase.. :-)

It happened with Ie7, when it came out... it made people switch to firefox.
Now Vista is making people switch to linux?

I can often be critical of Microsoft and Windows.
However, I have never once seriously thought about
switching full-time to Linux. Never.
While I play around with Firefox, IE7 works well for me.
I'm glad Mozilla and Firefox are around, and I hope
they continue to grow. I hope the same for Linux.
But, Linux just doesn't suite me right now.

Strangely enough I have a differing opinion. I think Vista may hurt Linux.

I think Vista may make Linux programmers switch to Windows. Linux
programmers are used to a similar security model and will have a much easier
time grasping the security model in Vista than many Windows programmers.
This will allow them to get programs to market quicker making them in high
demand. Vista may actually hurt Linux in this regard. Talented programmers
may switch to Windows.

I am sorry but I can't follow your reasoning here.

Explain to me, being a programmer myself, how Vista's security model
benefits me to get my work done?

All software I develop these days is designed to run on any platform.
Windows, Linux or Mac. So from that perspective...it doesn't much matter
what OS I do my development on since I support them all anyway.

News to me, I loved IE7, so did my friends and clients

I love Vista too, for home and business, it helps me protect the corporate
networks much better.

Granted it is a change and has a learning curve,

It has its bugs, but is that the OS or user, we are all still finding out.

Linux has its bugs AND its security holes too. But I never criticise Linux.
Its all the Linux users criticise windows.

What is ok for one , may not be ok for another, we all have choices .

There are many flaws and incorrect statements in that post...

Who cares how much shareware crap is cross platform. Show me ONE major
software house that developes for Linux. You know, a name EVERYBODY
will instantly know.
