 The Linux 2.6 Kernel comes out sometime around June.
If you run the 2.5 development kernel you will find that it
is impressive. It is much faster than the 2.4 kernel.
So, if you put the 2.6 kernel on todays new hardware with
todays Linux apps you really have something that you
can enjoy and be productive with.
Most likely Microsoft knows this.  Also Microsoft has just come out
with a new OS which is not free and a patch which slows xp down.
When and if Microsoft sales drop for any length of time
and when it looks like there is no more growth in Microsoft sales,
you will see the bad feeling about Microsoft grow at a rapid rate.
