A Computerworld blog post reads: "You gotta love it. Microsoft has decided that it will ho ahead and kill off easy access to XP on June 30th. On behalf of desktop Linux users everywhere, and our first cousins, the Mac fans, thanks. You've given us the best shot we'll ever have of taking the desktop."

People buy Vista, people use Vista and there was at least eight "years of desktop Linux" already.
Not everyone needs Firefox and OpenOffice only. And not everyone prefers Amarok over Winamp. And not everyone prefers to play Open Arena over World Of Warcraft.
And until there will be any need to manually edit xorg.conf, fstab etc. to do anything else with PC than web browsing or starting OO.org then GNU/Linuxes will stay at 1% of the market.
Vista sucks, that is certain, but I afraid that any kind of GNU/Linux as desktop solution sucks even more.
Do not blame people who do not want become hackers to use washing machine or microwave oven. The same rule apply for using the computer.
