So how long do you think we will have to wait to see the onslaught start?
Linux defiantly has an advantage from a pricing standpoint but it has yet to break
into the consumer market in a big
way
and if price is the only advantage over windows it likely will not get to
far
the price of the OS is real a drop in the bucket when buying a PC so it really isn’t
issue on new PCs
the IE VS everybody else battle will get pretty interesting in the future
IEs dominance may well be weakened by micro$oft's own actions
Unless they have changed the plans IE 6 will be the last standalone version
All future versions will be integrated into the windows OSs of the future
So eventually they will drop support for IE 6
When the patches stop coming but the bugs keep appearing people may start to switch
to competing products
It will defiantly be interesting to watch how it plays out, if longhorn is ever released
that is
Regards, Adam Bradley
