True there was a discussion, and then people thought they wouldn't become
popular. Since then I think the same people are leaning the other way. I also
see more programs being made to run on Linux as well.

With the release of the terrible Windows ME, and the future looking just as
horrible for Microsoft, I think it would be wise to take this route.

Even I, the most Con-Linux person, is thinking of switching to Linux. It seems
as that is where the future is heading, as from a statistic from PC World
Magazine states, 52% is current Windows users are tempting fate and switching to
one of the more easily set up versions of Linux, being Mandrake, or RedHat.

Even currently as I write this, am downloading the ISO images of Mandrake 7.2,
and Red Hat 7.

Who woulda thunk it? Not I :)
