"It took me almost no time to adapt to Ubuntu and become at ease with using it. In fact, this entire column was written and published under Ubuntu running on the MSI Wind. No Windows needed around here!"

"Many potential buyers of laptops priced under $300 in the U.S. had an unpleasant surprise over the weekend: The machines would not be eligible for a free upgrade to Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 operating system."

"Earlier today, Microsoft announced pricing and delivery details for a pair of eagerly awaited products in the Windows 7 family. If you were hoping for upgrade bargains or a long-term commitment to multi-PC upgrade pricing, prepare to be disappointed."

"While this latest operating system stresses simplicity, the upgrade process will be anything but simple for the huge base of average consumers still using XP, who likely outnumber Vista users. It will be frustrating, tedious and labor-intensive."

"Going from Windows to Linux need not be done all at once. You don't need to throw yourself into the deep end of the pool in order to learn how to swim. For those with a Microsoft habit they want to kick but don't want to go cold turkey, here are some ways to ease into Linux without giving up Windows -- well, not immediately, anyway."

"Microsoft might be betting big on Windows 7, the next version of its flagship operating system, but to Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth, the upcoming release is really an opportunity for Linux to shine."

Under "what do," I think they forgot to mention the option of switching to a Mac or a Linux-based desktop.

"No, he's not talking about dual-boot systems. (OK, kind of.) Instead he's talking about "fast boot," which an increasing number of computer manufacturers are delivering via Linux-based solutions from DeviceVM and others. Resource hound that it is, Microsoft apparently needs some help from Linux getting started from the once "cancerous" Linux."

I predict that eventually Windows 7 will arrive before Vista did, thereby erasing Vista from memory and human history. Maybe not, but it seems like it can't come too soon.

"... I really don’t enjoy using my Windows very much (not as much as Linux), and use is limited mainly to Webinars and rare instances when a vendor or project provides support only for Windows. Luckily for me, those instances are occurring less and less. And when Google gets around to putting Chrome on Linux, I’ll be ready to really take it for a drive."

"A further indication may come from InfoWorld, which suggests that over a third of what it terms "enterprise class" users are exercising the downgrade option. InfoWorld provides a performance monitoring tool, called Sentinel, that reports in with data about a system's configuration and operation, allowing the community to analyze the data and detect trends. The InfoWorld staff combed the data for hardware that's new enough to have shipped after Vista had been preinstalled, and found that 35 percent of it was actually running XP."

"Linux is quite appealing to the first profile, in fact, it wins hands down by offering thousands of possibilities for them. The trick is when you are dealing with the second profile. They really do not care if it is Windows or Linux, as long as they do not have do anything more to use it. Anything different gets objected to, even if it is better."

Interesting and pragmatic piece about new operating system work that Microsoft may or may not be doing. Personally, I think they need to finally follow Apple's model for rebuilding the substructure on a *ix base.

No Vista for Daimler or GM, to add on to Intel. Obviously this is a big opportunity for those who want to encourage adoption of non-Windows operating systems like Linux and OS X. Does Open Solaris have a shot here as well? Are people switching from Windows to Solaris on the desktop?

"Linux offers equivalents to many Windows applications that are often as good as--or even better than--the programs you're used to. In some cases the apps are also available in Windows and Mac OS versions, allowing dual-booters to stay with the same set of free programs regardless of the operating system in use."
