Dale I am sure you are aware that most users choosing windows over linux is not a matter of taste but rather a fear of the incompatibilities and the learning curve for linux, both of which are unwarranted. So it's not a matter if they agree or not with me, as it's been the case for so long, they had no real choice to begin with. I 've witnessed time and again how people can get scared away by it people or salespeople from any other platform than windows.

This thing with vista and intel integrated graphics (by far the worst in the x86 bussiness) and the terrible, terrible atom is going to be one slow, slow dog...
