Too little, too late.
They’ll need to up their game in order to compete with Microsoft and, in particular, Win7.
I’m a Linux, specifically Debian/Ubuntu, fanboy. But, Win 7 is a very good product. It’s very, very, marketable, and fairly user friendly, thanks to it’s prolonged beta and rc period.
If MS is cutting deals, and I hear they are, with corporate America, then it will be a huge hit.
More important than the quality of the products....cheapest one to do the total job may win...
