buddy i go with your views.. the open source s/w's has really changed the OS scenario today .. with the comin of linux .. as user friendly version's !!
d one soesnt want to pay a hefty amount to load xp n like n even the other s/w's in linux (most of them ) are free for user & the best part of
the source codes which one can change as for their use.
microsoft has to work n this, its true 2day d max depends on windows but u cant eva say daz will be the scenario in few years n with the
vista requering a drastic change in hardware for the pc user's it may b hard for microsoft to get a gud response !!!
