For those of you with negative feelings about Vista.....

I just wrote a rant here but I decided not to post the whole thing but summarize it:

I am an eXPerienced user.

I much prefer SuSe Linux to Vista, so what does that make me?

I went back to that page and viewed two of the "demos" at the bottom of the page.  They have some interesting info, some features I was not aware of.

That makes you an argument none of us want to start : D

I would use Linux if:
It had support for Windows Live Mail, and Messenger with the Messenger Plus addon, and support for The Sims 2 (None of those are supported in WINE, and The Sims 2 cant even run in a virtual environment)
I do use it for my server. My server is running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, (I actually upgraded to Hardy when it was still in BETA, worked excellent!) and it really makes a robust server. I tried Windows Server 2003 as a webserver for a few weeks, and really didnt like it. I did like the management interface, but, I kept having permission issues with letting users view my site, and also getting PHP to work with IIS 5.0 was difficult. I learned a lot in a short amount of time though.

The above platform has nothing in common with Win98 including the core and kernel components...
Rubbish.

In truth I have very little time for OS fanbois. Among computer forum posters, I think that some (mainly younger, male, geeky IMHO) people have an almost autistic type of obsessive attachment to trivial things like which OS they like, how much RAM, brand of CPU, etc. They remind me very much of a type of person we have in the UK called "trainspotters" who are (often with Asbergers) obsessive collectors of railway engine numbers, who fiercely champion their favourite class of engine.
