>> [OT] NO WAY..... that Linux will replace windows on the home PC. >> Most people don't even know what an operating system is, Therefore, the OS on the machine they buy is irrelevant so long as it provides the desktop appearance substantially similar to that of their friends. If there was a bang-up browser, and Word and Excel compatible editors, then what the heck does the average consumer care about what's underneath? Microsoft PnP is highly overrated. Linux could achieve substantially the same result with a fairly short document spec'ing hardware constraints of add-ons and a relatively simple install wizard. This stuff will come. The Linux slams I heard are exactly the same as the NT slams 5 years ago. Linux is actually maturing faster than NT did, I would wager.
