"...if Windows has Microsoft applications plus the stable of Free Software apps while desktop Linux/BSD/etc has only the Free Software apps, why would anyone in their right mind switch to Linux/BSD (and incur the training and data migration costs) when they already have all the software they need and want right in front of them? They have no reason to. None. Ergo, they won't." Well, you get exposed/accustomed to the apps -- and then eventually make the switch to a more secure underlying OS.

This sounds great!!
Any idea when the full version's supposed to ship?
The other thing, could this mean that the Crystal set used in KDE could be implemented for use in Windows--I'd like to change all of the default icons to Crystal, and possibly find a more realistic KDE Windowblinds theme (though, I'm using the free version...)
