Linux "10 days? Well that hardly sounds hard enough! Sure, it doesn't sound so hard but take in account that over 500 million of us use a Windows OS at least once, everyday of the week and you too will see that going cold turkey from XP to KDE might be harder or more limiting than first thought."

Most people aren't using Windows by choice. They using Windows because that's what their computers come with. Period.

And just so you know, in something as simple as color rendering, the Linux driver that came with SuSE 8.0 (I use Gentoo now) was better able to render the entire palette than Windows 98 ever could.

As for Vista being able to render better than Linux, that's just plain BS. Linux already has (in my opinion) much better rendering than Windows ever had. It just seems that Linux programmers are better able to take advantage of the entire graphics engine.

You couldn't sound more like a Microsoft fan boy if you tried. Since Vista's not even out yet, either you're a geeky little beta tester, or you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Er.... maybe it was my ATi Drivers, but Windows UI always seems more "teh snappy" than Linux any time I try it.

I'll see again when I build my new box with nVidia but thats just my experience personally.
