Linux The traditional market share numbers would say that Linux is currently at less than 1%, but some more recent numbers suggest that it might, in fact, be almost even with the Mac. This all brings the question of how many Linux users are there really? Unfortunately, we may never know. Certainly, there is no way of knowing currently, but it should be possible to at least get a rough estimate.

Except that Home Basic is dog crap.

Vista is cheaper than it was when first released. An OEM version of Vista Ultimate can be purchased for as little as $160 at Tech Bargains.

I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on my main desktop and use it as an occasional terminal server for my Linux machines. I hacked it to provide support for unlimited concurrent RDP sessions.

It works fairly well and I can easily disable seamless operation to remote a full desktop rather than just application windows.

Maybe. I chose the cheapest version of Vista to match the low-end $400 computer mentioned above.
