Oh....so Linux is a viable option on servers, just not desktops? Correct? I only brought it up in response to your 'Dell is too smart to mess with Linux' line, which obviously isn't the case. And they obviously thought they could be profitable with offering a desktop version before getting yanked back into line by MS and backing away after making the announcement.

I think I understand you aren't much of a Linux fan, but I can tell you from a professional point of view that it's coming. To desktops, laptops, servers, handhelds, etc. etc. Will it put MS out of business? Not a chance. But it most certainly [b]will[/b] become a viable option for many, many people. It already is.
