Yeah, Linux gets a mention in that NewTek thread, too.
I remember all of the yelling back when XP first hit the market -- I didn't agree with the naysayers back then. And after awhile: it seemed that pretty much everyone eventually happily jumped onto the XP bandwagon.
Not so thus far with Vista -- it's about the most argued-over OS that I've ever seen. Some users report that Vista works better than anything else ever has for them; while others claim that Vista destroyed their lives.
Frankly, I have to admit that I'm at something of a loss on this one. I know that PC users will eventually be forced -- kicking and screaming in some cases -- to go over to whatever Microsoft cares to feed the majority of us with.
Right now, XP is working fine for me. For now. I don't hate anything & everything from Microsoft just because it's from Microsoft -- but Vista is too controversial to encourage me to head in that direction just yet. If it was just a few whiners going on about it -- that would be one thing. But not when the negative vs. positive comments ratio seems to run 60%-40% on the average. With 60% being the negative.
