Every OS Microsoft publishes tries to remove the User from the systems
operation side of the equation. Personally, I take offense by their
attempts to lock me out of folders on my own computer. Regardless of a
the tonnage of lipstick slapped on a pig, it's still a pig.
Windows 7 is just another attempt to push Users further away from being
able to control their own systems.
For this reason, most all applications being selected for use now and in
the future have Linux compatibility so the transition curve isn't a
series of switchbacks.
In time, 2-3 years, use of XP will become untenable and a version of
Linux used from there on.

I can understand that! Win ME was worse than Vista (if that's
possible!(. However, using both Linux and Windows 7 I can say that Win
7 is actually not bad.
(All we need to do now is to get Windows 7 users to STOP running as
Admin on a daily basis - it really ain't necessary on Win 7....)
