Headlines - Microsoft announces Vista retail price cuts

Linux based OS are the much better choice for obvious reasons ... do some research if you're interested in the facts.
If you then still have to ask for why ... then I'd say it's about clarifying who is the master and who is the slave in regards to USER & COMPUTER ...

Only the mainstream is blinded by the whistle & eyecandy of microsoft OS.

lol, explain to me how I can run my existing windows applications.

Linux has some serious problems for novice users as well - A lot of people can buy a piece a hardware for there Windows PC and install it, In linux you start to get into compling etc which is useless for most people.

And tbh I really dont care about having a open source system, I would prefer to see several closed OS's that could work with a standard application format (yeah Java is slow) which would provide competition and a proper price for an OS.

wow, I wonder how much they paid a consultancy firm to tell them that making something cheaper means the demand will increase?

Someone doing GCSE economics, or even business studies (FTW?!) could have told them that!

...Good news though
