By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

"Im a windows zealot!! im a windows zealot!!! linux sucks!!! microsoft all the way!!!! go windows!! go bill gaytes!!! yay!!!!!! Linux sucks!!"
Wow, you sound like many Linux zealots I have heard...
Anyways, I find that many people are not very informed on the system requirements of Longhorn... Maybe this is on purpose to spread anti Microsoft FUD, but who knows. I would think that everyone is smart enough to realize that even if you turn off all the GUI effects for slow systems on Longhorn, you will still have a very different OS under the hood. Funny how right now, aside from the start menu, my Windows XP looks almost identical to my Windows 98 box, yet they behave so different. Maybe some are just afraid that Microsoft has a real Linux killer on their hands, and will do what it takes, even skewing some facts to make their Linux religion look superior.
