As I said before, I only know one person who uses XP, and that was only because he bought a new computer. He's persevering with it, but is still considering going back to Win98. More stable it may be, but my brief experience of trying to get it connected to the Internet so it wouldn't self-destruct in five days made me really appreciate how easy Mandrake is to configure.
In contrast, although I sometimes see posts from people using Mandrake 7.2 or 8.0, most of us upgrade whenever a new distro comes out; it's partly curiosity, and partly a feeling of confidence that even if upgrades are someimtes disappointing, they're not likely to screw us completely. I still find it amzing that people are still writing articles with titles like "Is Linux ready for the desktop?" Linux has been ready for some time now; the question is how far ahead will it get, how fast?
