Windows Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) is in full swing this week, hot on the heels of the recent PDC. The main subject is, of course, Windows 7. This being a conference focused on hardware makers, Microsoft made a whole slew of announcements related to how Windows 7 will deal with hardware.

"I'm not alone, it seems. Not by a long shot.


Customers not buying Vista doesn't mean it's a bad product. If that were the case, than Linux has been sucking balls ever since it came to the scene. I'm not saying either of these statements is true, but the logic "customers aren't buying it, so it must not be good" is nonsensical. So is its counterpart, "customers are buying it, so it must be good", by the way.
"

Hardly Thom.

The sole reason why the general wider public doesn't "buy" Linux is that it is not being offered to them.

In comparison, Vista is shoved down their throats, nothing else is offered to people as an alternative, and yet they still aren't buying it.
