Re: Fear

30-40 machines here & there may not matter much to MS, but eventually it
will start to add up & get their attention.
Because I find the Vista interface so offensive, I have converted 38 old P3
machines to Linux rather than buying new systems with Vista.
For what the machines do, the current configuration should work until the
hardware dies.
It's taken some study to learn how to set things up properly, but avoiding
the AOL like MS Vista snafu is worth it.
MS decision to try & cater to the lowest common denominator cost someone the
sale of that many new machines and themselves the sale of that many
licenses... so far. AOL wrote their software like that for years, and
remember how quickly they overtook MS as the software leader...
