I would have been nice, though, if you had mentioned moving to Linux (perchance Macintosh) as an alternative. In the mean time, as you noted, Windows users need to "act now".

I don't know if you've checked it out, but they offer a way to test drive it without partitioning or removing Windows. Read up on the reviews and awards this system is receiving. Microsoft is doing everything they can to get rid of Lindows, as they view it as the threat it is. They even offer software (not Wine) that allows you to run Windows software on it. I don't even bother though, and I'll never go back to Windows. Yes, it has a few glitches, but not bad, and stability/security wise it just can't be beat. Marc
