Re:Not entirely true, but .... (Score 1)

You do have a big point here, I think. Web applications often work perfectly well on linux and there are more and more of them... i.e. the major current source of software innovation works on linux. Plus linux is catching up in terms of office software. And the distros are mostly getting decent-ish at the common tasks like photo handling. Multimedia stuff mostly works too. We might unexpectedly find that linux is a seriously competitive desktop system quite soon. I wonder if vista performing really badly on current hardware might be the kick that needs.
