Depends on your view point

I like to think the MS came into the Linux fold and
not the other way around ;-). Microsoft invested in
Linux - not the other way around. Sure, it could have
some bad side effects - but I am an optimist.

Vista does not need a killer - it is proving to be
very capable in killing it self. 
Vista security spec 'longest suicide note in history'

Agian, depends on your view point - Ubuntu is the most
hyped OS in the net of 2006. Many high profile users
of MacOS have switched over to Ubuntu. Case in point,
Cory Doctorow, Mark Pilgrim. 

> and debian is taking too much time to freeze. 
In the case of debian, its expected. If a version of
debain is released on time, I will have trouble
believing its debian ;-). No offense, guys!

Amen to that.
