i think he is trying to make a joke
anyway, who am i to advise but imho, wait for sp1 to come out before jumping on the bandwagon for good.
every msoft os at start is crap and full of loopholes no matter what msoft tries to overhype any new security tool they have embedded into the OS.
its just the same everytime.
but if the os cant run properly with 512mb, i guess msoft just sold a huge chunk of the pie to Linux.
as it is linux is gaining ground, the more msoft push buyers to get new hardware, the more they would jump on the bandwagon.
some organization have also created thier own flavour of linux which imho is a good move so they would save cost and msoft would know where the ground lies and where the sky lies and where they are exactly
When you get all the BEST professional applications and games on Linux (not considering Cedega; it's awful), maybe people might try it.
TBH noone will see any benefits using Linux compared to the current Windows XP; and with Microsoft streamlining everything plus today's powerful PCs, I'm having a hard time imagining the mainstream consumer NOT having a copy of Windows, XP or Vista.
(And for the bugs/ SP1, you probably forgot how Vista testing and CTP launches were so different from previous Windows-es. It launches a year after the first beta with a completely rewritten kernel, doesn't seem to be as exploit-heavy as everyone thinks.)
