Your next computer doesn't need to come with Windows Vista o1r be an
overpriced Mac. At least one major manufacturer will be offering Linux
as an alternative. Dell will begin shipping PC's with Ubuntu 7.04 at
the end of May:

I'm currently running Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn") and find it a very
solid OS. I've also played a bit with a Vista machine and found Vista
to be very clunky. In an attempt to be "different" yet secure it seems
very unintuitive and annoying which will confound the average user.
Maybe Microsoft should have named Windows Waterloo. :)
