So since Microsoft is basically saying that since vista was a mistake because it was too clunky and big. Does that mean they're going to make it better and give me Windows 7 for free? Don't I deserve to have it on my PC that's been running slow for the past 2 years? Haven't I suffered enough, or do I need to shell out some more cash?

Ok, let's consider this a NOT being a part of the conspiracy theory for a moment. Computers are NOT learned through genetics. Someone had to teach me how to do what I can do with computers. In some circles I'm treated like a God for knowing what little I know. In other circles I'm the lowest of the low.... Why? Because there is so much these machines can do, so much people have done with them that there are a slew of specialities. It's intimidating. It leaves people not knowing where to start. Excluding the possibility of a conspiracy theory, it seems like this person certainly wants to know what she's doing. What's really ironic is that she couldn't find anyone who could actually help her out. I mean heck, we need to mandate that every neighbourhood have at least one "ubuntu guy/gal" across America.

I'm working on a website: http://whyubuntu.com/ to help address some of these issues. If you'd like to contribute we'll be stepping up production later this month and could use the help. Shoot me an email: jacob (at) whyubuntu (dot) com I've re-discovered Linux and everything I need is there to be functional. I can't participate as a programmer, but I can help the marketing. Ya'll made a great product, we've just got to get the word out. One "commercial" in the works talks about having to pay for Windows 7... Microsoft is prepping folks to make a transition... If they're being prompted to change... Why not change to Ubuntu?
