Come on, you know the routine .... "If you tell a lie often enough it eventually becomes a fact".

Let's compare where it really counts ... profits.  Something tells me that Vista is not losing in that department.  

Ah, don't you just love delusions of grandeur?

These guys can't relate, they consider those that give away their work for free as their heros.

SWC,

I don't think any one here thinks Linux will outdo vista in terms of dollars but there is no doubt the semi annual delay announcements and the leaks of the ridiculous hardware needed to run vista when looked at through the lens of a system which is more the computer of two years ago rather than the computer of tomorrow will help Linux.

MS may very well see a fall in market share because they have not done anything with vista either technically or temporally (We waited 6 years for XP with eye candy) to deserve anything more..

If linux sees a desktop market share increase of 3% from this (from their current 3% to 6%) over the life cycle of vista this will be a win for Linux and if MS sees it as anything else I would be amazed, more likely balmier will through another chair..
