Paul Thurrot (there he is again) compares Vista Beta 1 to Tiger: "For Windows enthusiasts, Windows Vista Beta 1 is a much-needed demonstration that Microsoft can still churn out valuable Windows releases, after years of doubt. For Mac OS X users, however, Windows Vista Beta 1 engenders a sense of deja vu. Isn't a lot of this stuff already in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger?"

"Fanboys can scream about choice all they want, but Linux will never be relevant until there is at least a standard toolkit, and that's just the start of linux's problems."
Uhh...ok. And Windows apps all use the same toolkit right? There's just as much, if not more diversity on the Windows side. The number of toolkits used will have nothing to do with the adoption rate of Linux on the desktop.

How about putting it this way:
"Windows will never be relevant until there is a standard toolkit."
Funny, Linux has the same market share as Mac OSX and yet OSX has a standard toolkit? How could that be? I guess OSX isn't ready for the desktop...
It's so easy to demolish the anti-Linux FUD, and yet the trolls keep posting it. I guess they're a) gluttons for punishment or b) paid to do it...

1) Windows does have a standard toolkit
2) OSX is tied to it's own expensive hardware. It has nothing to do with its toolkit.
3) Valid criticism is not FUD
4) You honestly think there are people here paid to defend Microsoft? HAHAHAHAHA. I'm sorry, but some of you guys are so paranoid and delusional. Why can't you simply accept that some people actually use and like MS products? Get over yourself. Freedom of choice, right? Yeah, right, freedom as long as it's nix.

it's a problem? some people like myself think strength lies in diversity.
It's not a problem, except for the linux newbs that have an obscene obsession with Linux becoming relevant on the desktop.
