In his latest column,, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols argues that Microsoft Vista is going to be so expensive that it's going to make users think hard about switching to Linux instead. "Desktop Linux is never going to have a better chance than it will in the next eighteen months," he says. My take: He forgets two important factors: Vista can run with all the flashy graphics turned off, and seven editions of Vista? How many Linux distributions are there to choose from?

When you install windows you have to go download firefox (average Joe don't know how to do this)same with every other application they need. Linux you get firefox, thunderbird without the need to download it , or use a package from another distro.
Both me, my uncle and mum use Linux as there desktop, so can anyone come up with any REAL facts to challenge that? because Vista is not a upgrade path for a lot of people I know.
