First, I didn't even mention Ubuntu - it ain't the only game on the
block. Second, I've BEEN doing 'real work' with Linux for about 10 years
now. Unless you assume that national defense is not 'real work'.

That's a different animal. When speaking here about Ubuntu for the most
part it is in regards to home users using Ubuntu on the desktop. What you
do is specialized and not what I'm talking about. I'm also not speaking
about servers either. Hope that clears it up a bit.

I have a suggestion for Microsoft:
maybe it could be better to change the name
No more Windows 7
BUT
VISTA2
Am I right?

First, Ubuntu is NOT the only game in town. Second, I developed software
which was used by technicians to do data analysis - on a graphical
desktop - I'm not speaking about servers either - hope that clears it up
a bit.

No, it definitely is not, it is much leaner and faster in my experience.

I don't know of course, but at a guess I'd say it's been highly
optimized taking into account the complaints about Vista and there's
quite a lot of new code in there - I will await Mr Ballmer's comments...

and await for a long time I expect :)

It's still clearly SP3 for Vista. MS has admitted how bad Vista is -
and their solution is to charge us to fix the crappy code they sold
us.

I expect we might see some action from the Euro's on this again in
terms selling defective products and then charging for the repairs.
That's generally considered fraud. However, in the USA, software
companies specifically sell you a license in order to avoid the
portions of the UCC and state laws that govern "product"
merchantability. I suspect there's some similar dodge in Europe -
although the Europeans are less tolerant of nonsense and actually
enforce their laws, unlike the Fed's here. We have to wait for some
state AG's to act.
