I think Dell went to only Vista for awhile, but everyone was demanding XP. Thanks for your comment :) Geedos

Linux, she is a cruel mistress, she has broken our heart many times, every time you hear this you have to take it with a grain of salt. The Linux desktop is maturing quite nicely, in my opinion, Firefox has been a great contributor, GIMP, all these cross-platform software packages, are also driving people to Linux. Also Virtualization is growing. etc etc etc. Thanks for your comment :) bjb_nyj101

Linux on the desktop isnt ready yet, nor do i see it being ready this year. Every year since 2000/2001 has been 'the year of the linux desktop' and every year, nothing happens. um…..

Personally I use XP and although am tempted by Vista I wanted to wait until it had been released for a while and the first couple of sets of bugs worked out. I agree that Linux users may increase in the home marketplace but I think from a commercial perspective Windows (and probably XP at the moment rather than Vista) will continue to be the safe bet across large companies.
