Marcie,

I read the article and it seems to me that this is another "niche" idea. The thing about MSFT operating systems is they can do virtually anything, not just perform a few "niche" tasks.
Others have tried to not use a MSFT operating system, AAPL and IBM come to mind. OS2 for IBM never gained in popularity and the MAC has some loyal followers, but was never intended or accepted by the masses. All that said, I am sure rudedog can offer more comments.
