Consider these memory requirements for Fedora Core 2, as specified by Red Hat: Minimum for graphical: 192MB and Recommended for graphical: 256MB Does that sound any alarm bells with you? 192MB minimum? I've been running Linux for five years (and am a huge supporter), and have plenty of experience with Windows, Mac OS X and others. And those numbers are shocking -- severely so. No other general-purpose OS in existence has such high requirements. Linux is getting very fat.

M$ is evil and does bad business practice, but the suerly know how to make polished user experience. I can't help it but XP feels somehow faster than Linux + KDE. It's more responsive, and it's easier on XP to turn of the goddam eyecandy.
And I noticed that Linux's software developers tend not to give a shit about backward compatibility, a thing that always seemed to be a primary focus for M$ developers.
