It would seem that the upcoming release of Microsoft's Windows Vista does not seem like a good thing for the desktop Linux community. After all, this update to Windows XP is going to focus on two attributes which have pushed users to Linux for years- security and stability. Upon closer inspection though, the move to Vista may be the perfect time for the Linux community to make headway on the desktop and increase its user base dramatically. The number of features which Microsoft has cast aside since Longhorn and the hardware requirements of Vista have set the stage for a large scale move to desktop Linux.

How can you do proper security when your bloody users insist on running Windows under Administrator priveledges (cause it's easier).
Fuck em I say. I try to support these people but if they insistantly try to get around what I'm doing for them then they are on their own. I am sick of user laziness. I hope MS locks Vista down hard so these Morons realise there is more than just a few "paranoid" admins out there who try to take security seriously.
This comming from a firm that is supposedly meant to supply "highly secure deposit boxes". Good luck to them I say.
