Linux, despite being close, is not a windows desktop beater, it requires far to much 'twiddling' to get it all working correctly and a much higher level of knowledge to maintain and use it - some suit can push it all they like, but if its not at least as user friendly as windows, its not going to catch on with the general public. box makers have tried Linux on machines, and it has flopped, simply due to lack of public interest. The fact that their is a wide spread (ok geek community <g>) alternative that is constantly improving and gaining ground will be enough to make MS feel a little less secure Rick Kitty5 WebDesign - http://Kitty5.com POV-Ray News & Resources - http://Povray.co.uk TEL : +44 (01270) 501101 - FAX : +44 (01270) 251105 - ICQ : 15776037 PGP Public Key http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x231E1CEA
