"50 percent of those being questioned seriously considering a move to a non-Windows OS such as Linux" It can't be! I'm sure I read on IT Wire that Windows had "kicked Linux to the curb" and that it had "crushed" Linux. Surely Linux is dead. |

Linux is dead! Long live Linux! |

So, is Linux like a zombie or more like a cat with 9 lives? :-) |

It's more like a Time Lord. It just keeps regenerating. |

Rust, once it starts there is no stopping it. |

I think it's more a case of whomever shouts his made-up statistics out the loudest shall be accepted as the truth. |

caitlyn, How many times do I have to repeat: Quoting:It's BSDs that are Dead! And Linux, it's taking its last few labored breaths.Psst: MS, so quit with the check its in the mail. And how many times do I have to repeat the Vista Extreme is my FAVORITE OS? Send cash, not regards. |

It is noteworthy that we are seeing articles like this. It wasn't that long ago that Linux and Mac weren't even on the radar of MS I mean tech news media. |

Linked from the front page of CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/ptech/04/15/cnet.all.in.one.net...Quoting:They're a subcategory of desktop PCs called Nettops, and, like Netbooks, they're generally defined as a computing platform powered by the Atom processor that runs either Windows XP or a version of Linux. I thought it was interesting that it was just tossed out there, "it runs Linux" as if that's no big deal. |
