I totally screwed up on the year...Unlike some folks, I admit my mistakes...

We all make mistakes, some just a lot more than others. I'll be glad to admit where I'm mistaken as well, but from the looks of this thread, I've once again been right on the money. This was yet another BS rumor posted as fact, seems to be about one every other day around here, last time was claiming Dell was selling Linux on home desktops which has had to suffer being blown out of the water three separate times now.

You guys obviously need to give it a rest. You spin around shooting off these articles constantly that never pan out, and personally attack us for pointing out they were bunk to begin with. Just because you can't comprehend the fact that Dell and IBM still won't completely commit to Linux, doesn't mean you won't eventually have to accept it.

For us commoners who use the pc for surfing and emailing only, is Linux worth looking into? I've been thru the progression of Win 95, 98FE, and now XP pro. Same goes for various IE editions. I've found Firefox 1.5 to be superior to IE, and really no startling differences in the Win OS's over the years. Cable is not available in my area, so I have crap dialup.

Opinions Welcome.

Good, then you can start by retracting #23, and #19 on the Dell thread, both shown by me to be false.

Who ever said that? Of course they're going to keep Microsoft around...says so in the article. It's just curious that IBM and Google seem to be preparing Linux releases. If this is a standards compliant toolset (the IBM Desktop) it could be quite the thing.
