Microsoft announced on Tuesday US prices for Windows Vista, the long-awaited new version of the operating system that sits on more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers. The software maker set the retail price for Vista at between USD 100 and USD 259 for users upgrading from older versions of Windows. The prices range from the basic version of Vista to the top-end 'ultimate' edition. For consumers looking to buy Vista without an upgrade, the products will cost between USD 199 to USD 399, Microsoft said.

The whole point is that you can't do everything in Linux that you can with Windows. If you could, there would be no reason for Windows to exist.
Except that some people would still like it. God help them. It's called "choice". What you said is like saying that if Fords are just as good as Chryslers, there's no reason for Chrysler to exist.
Perhaps one of these days, some of you hardcore Linux fanatics will figure that out and shut the f**k up already.
Fanatics never stfu already. Especially when not told to. And that goes for Windows fanatics too.

And just so you don't think I'm totally biased, there are also things you can't do in Windows that you can do in Linux. It just depends on what you need. Remember kids, everything is a tool - use the best tool for the job. If you worship at the Altar of Stallman, then you've got no business going anywhere near a proprietary OS. But please respect those who don't share the same religion as you.
