There are always zealots predicting the death of Windows. While I'd like to see Microsoft's share drop to about 50% of the market, I bear the evil empire no ill will (snicker). All joking aside, despite Microsoft's best efforts to boost Vista, it seems like a sinking ship. Microsoft has delayed the public release a couple of times. Now OS ews reports that Microsoft has once again been sending information back to HQ without proper disclosure.
In many ways Vista's release reminds me of the Windows 95 release; dates got pushed back, and features (32bit file system, voice recognition) got pushed back, or never showed up at all. Microsoft Watch has an article about Vista feature that has been recently dropped due to security concerns.
In the midst of all this, ZDNet UK reports that Dell now considers Linux among it's industry standard OS's. Whether this means that they will install it on more machines or not remains to be seen. But if public awareness is any gage, a lot of people know a little about Linux. Even if they don't understand it, many are starting to warm to it.
