After 10 years of supporting Linux, IBM continues to challenge Microsoft on multiple fronts and aims to push Linux even further into the enterprise. While IBM has competed and partnered with Microsoft over the last two decades, the Microsoft-free PC effort is perhaps its most direct assault yet. "The idea of Microsoft-free personal computing has been in the air for a while," Inna Kuznetsova, director of Linux at IBM, told InternetNews.com. "We're just partnering with Linux distribution vendors and hardware vendors to make it happen."

The point is even WITH Microsoft releasing a dud like Vista, its really hard for an operating like Linux, with plenty of technical merits, to make any inroads.
Or maybe Vista has been badmouth to death but it's actually a reasonably good OS, while Linux on the desktop still leaves a lot to be desired.
