Linux: Good for geeks, but still work in progress.
I've looked at it and its not the end of the rainbow and seemed to be missing many features of XP and Word XP that I would not like to do without.
Still, I had a play with it here, just to see what all the fuss was about and to be honest it crashed out more than my computer XP does, but then I don't find XP a problem... 98se and ME yeah, horrible, and Win2K was really unfriendly, but XP, that seems to be the OS that MS got right.
The problem I had with linux is that its terribly difficult to do simple things - such as sharing a network drive. And there was a clear lack of wizards.
Other than that, the free-days of Linux must come to an end and someone must buy the kernal and develop it comericaly for it to even think about taking on MS. Until then, it will remain a minority sport IMHO.
