Many anti-MS fanboys complain that Vista is nothing more than XP with a new coat, but anyone with an open mind realizes this is absolutely not the case. No, Vista is a whole new bunch of crap to pollute the desktop world. On the Linux desktop front, just because a number did not jump from 2 to 3 it hasn't improved? Come on. A lot has happened to make Gnome rock on Linux. I have been using Linux as my work environment for a while now and it is certainly ready for desktop use. Linux has already won in my work place.
