In the pressure of customer, Microsoft has to decide last the life of Windows XP till July-2008. We can continue be supported by MS till that time. PS: After that, linux will be my choice.
Vista really is not that bad, better in my eyes than a full switch over to Linux. I love linux and what it can do but there are probably two programs that I use all day almost everyday that linux does NOT have an equivalent to. Newsleecher is the main one. And no I don't want to dual boot for two programs
I installed VirtualBox in Ubuntu 7.04 and run XP to only use Adobe PS and DW. Trust me, this is the best Linux experience in long years that I had so far, because I have tried Linux since Fedora Core 1 and Finally I'm happy with the results from Ubuntu. I can see my main PC switching to Linux 100% by the end of the year.
