Yeah, well, duh. You're an idiot if you convert everything all at once. Mail me the full report, NOT!

Actually, this quote got me thinking. Back in December-January, the trade rags were all jumping up and down about how 2004 was going to be the break-out year for the Linux desktop, with some major rollouts, yet here we are at mid-year and nary a peep about them. What happened? Did MS manage to strangle these in infancy?

5:55 PM EDT 		There is some major roll-outs underway, but I think we are reading a little less about them as they are not yet finished. If you were in charge would you declare victory or failure for that matter in mid stream? I can think of IBM and Oracle that is in midstream.

The famed Munich project has had some difficulties, but I do not think they are serious. Moving from NT to XP has it's share of problems for a major organization so let's keep the Munich project in perspective.
