From different statistics published in the web I have noticed a correlation
between an increase in the uptake of Linux and:
a) Major M$Windoze virus or trojan breakouts.
b) Launch of new M$Windoze OS variants (e.g. Win98 --> Win2k, or Win2k -->
WinXP).
where (b) above appears to be more significant in forcing people to reconsider
their options. Since I refuse point blank to pay for Vista, I'd like to see
that my wife is going to do within the next couple of years, he, he! ;-)
Although she promised that when the NTFS drivers for Linux are developed
adequately to allow her to work on her NTFS stored data from both OS, she
will make an effort to migrate. Let's see . . .
