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?

" When a company like Dell allows you to not only configure the hardware but pick the OS too, then you will see Linux gain a considerable marketshare, especially if having Linux preinstalled cost less than getting the computer with Windows preinstalled."
Which begs the question of WHY any oem like Dell would be the slightest bit interested in supporting yet another OS?

Dell attempted this with Redhat a couple years ago and absolutely failed horribly at it. It will take a lot of effort to get them to do this again as it likely cost them a ton of cash.
