why? (Score 1)

i am just wondering what is this story doing on slashdot? there have been far too many m$ related stories on /. for my liking. as i see it, you either upgrade to winxp or you don't. from many of the posts it is obvious that many people don't have a clue what winxp is but they just flame away. i have been using rc1 for a while and i don't have any problems with it - all my software / games work and i see no real difference in speed compared to w2k. instead of trying to boycott m$, why don't all you guys get involved in oss developement and give the world a reason to switch to opensource. after all, what's the use in having 10 window managers in a linux distro if the average joe cannot use it daily for their productivity needs. i am a avid supporter of opensource (linux, freebsd, openbsd) but in my opinion windows still has the upper hand in certain applications. just my 2 cents...
