I do agree that MSoft $uck$ bit time and linux smart,simple & fast in perforamnce and applications. But there is one thing that keeps folks away from Linux is that day-to-day electronic gadget's usage. I am using Linux from the 3-4 at my home but I still have to go to MXP for some simple things like my digicam & some particular webpages. Unless otherwise Fedora breaks that barrier Fedora can never beet XP. Having said that, these days I am completely ignoring my XP m/c at work for all practical purposes except for mail checking because of MXchange. That is just my short story, Raghu.
