So tired of the Microsoft shills trying to coerce us to be politically correct, when they are the ones who insult developing nation's attempts to provide home-based technology by using BSD and/or Linux!
Microsoft execs have sworn in court and quarterly SEC filings the power of Linux, that 25% of ALL users now run Linux, with no report on other competition, of which BSD and Mac are also substantial, with >3% growth per annum!
Better OSes, that are FREE and are free, are causing the greedy proprietary companies to respond with their attempts to compete in quality, with huge failings, to date.
Who 'owns' your data! Try opening your 1996 Excel spread sheet, or business ledger, or archived correspondence from that time, in Microsoft Office! You'll need MS products from then, which might not function in Vista!
Open Office imports all the legacy formats, and can export all modern file types! And provides the FULL SOURCE CODE!
The world outside of the USA runs Open Source software, as a matter of freedom and home grown prosperity for people everywhere.
I recommend that Vista users try Vixta. You might like to
review/DL any of the 300+ Live CDs at http://livecdlist.com
SimplyMepis works for me on laptop installs, using NDISWrapper to run some wifi cards using Windows only drivers. For many of us, ~300 GNU/Linux Distros and 30+BSD OSes, are the thrill of the chase in investigation of safety, competency, and ease of use!
Some of you Earthlings seem to lack the skills to download and run a LiveCD, so don't even try it; you have no right to complain. It isn't the fault of the OS that nature didn't equip you with the ability to evolve in your thinking!
