Why good people make bad OS choices
,----[ Quote ]
| For my mother-in-law, I picked her up an ASUS Eee 900A, which runs Xandros
| Linux for, with sales tax, just over $300. She loves it and she's been
| reading the Miami Herald news using Firefox and playing solitaire like a
| fiend for the last day and a half.

R.I.P. - Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s true that Ubuntu has some quirks for the user switching from XP, but
| I’ve found these quirks to be a byproduct of 15 years of Windows use - not
| any inherent problem with Ubuntu itself. In fact, once I get used to the
| Ubuntu way of doing things, they’re almost universally better.
|
| I have debated for 3 years making the switch to a linux distro, and after 2
| weeks of making the switch, this is all I have to say:
|
| Goodbye Windows XP. May you rest in peace.

*Not* Apple is Microsoft's #1 rival. Microsoft says it Linux, and this is why.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."

The Power of Perception
,----[ Quote ]
| A campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld may well succeed in changing this and
| convincing consumers to run Vista. But will it change the perceptions of IT
| professionals in large organizations? I wouldn't bet against it. We all like
| to think we are rational agents, but in reality we are all still susceptible
| to advertising — even Microsoft's.
|
| Let's take a look at the Linux market. Linux has many things going for it,
| yet it makes up just 13.4 percent of total server revenue. (Don't forget,
| many servers run Linux but don't generate revenue for vendors.)
