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 :)
