"So, which really is better for the desktop: Vista or Linux? I've been working with Vista since its beta days, and I started using Linux in the mid-90s. There may be other people who have worked with both more than I have, but there can't be many of them. Along the way, I've formed a strong opinion: Linux is the better of the two. But, now that Vista is on the brink of becoming widely available, I thought it was time to take a comprehensive look at how the two really compare. To do this, I decided to take one machine, install both of them on it, and then see what life was like with both operating systems on a completely even playing field."

I hope Windows won't disappear
Is this a joke? Soon some one will say that Windows is disappearing, LOL
Linux has struggled for 10 years to get a ridiculous 1% share. Windows is the most widely used system and it's the prefered system of many computer users. With Vista, I don't see Windows losing shares anytime soon.

How about people that just prefer to use Windows?
I know, it sounds unbelievable but they Are out there.
Okay, most people haven't had any experience with something else, but even professional people who have been or are using several different OS' sometimes prefer to use Windows.
And I think that's a Good Thing. It's Good everyone has different tastes and needs. That's why I hope Windows won't disappear but be forced to be a really good OS for once because the market for desktops get evenly distributed between all OS'.
