Man, is that gay gamers site still down? Why did so many of you wander into Digg?? Hey, I heard Pride.com had a really good article on booting up you might want to see
Used Vista long, have you, HonoredMule? Didn't think so.It's not going to give you a blowjob while you use it. It's not the second coming. It does work and work well. Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade from XP? Not really, any more than you had to upgrade from Photoshop 5.5 to 7 or CS. Sure, you get some nice bells and whistles, and maybe even some performance upticks, but nothing you can't live without. But if you do get it, it neither complicates your life nor makes it a panacea any more than XP. Upgrade if you want (I did it via purchasing a new computer) or don't. But dont go around wearing a "Doomsday" sign if you haven't even touched the thing.Remember kids, it's an OS, not a religion.
Google has to design software with the consumer in mind. Most consumers unfortunately don't use Linux as it doesn't come preinstalled on most people's computers. Give 'em time, the more linux adoption we see, the more apps like that we'll see available.
The data mining is going to become the real problem. Its too easy to force a massive entity to be complicit in spying, and using them unknowingly is probably close behind.

Actually you would say that Google provides their services using Linux systems.
