Surprise, Surprise (Windows XP)

As my bud Gomer Pyle would say. I thought the new bait from MS was THE ONE.

Perhaps you have noticed the news stories, the UK was following along in the MS train. Seems the UK will be disembarking, partly because of security problems, partly, even if it were secure, Brits don't want Yanks being responsible for their security. Of course, MS committed a faux pas at an unveiling ceremony, and has blundered in other procedural matters. It all adds up to UK going more towards open source OS's, possibly Linux/Unix.

I love it!

As I've been saying, Win2000 is my last M$ OS. I've been playing with Linux now for a few months and am really starting to enjoy it. By the time friends and family are ready for upgrades, I'll introduce them to RadHat or Mandrake and show them how easy it is to say goodbye to Billy Gates.

Hope that I could say the same Audiyoda, but since I'm a professional gamer it seems that I'll have to stick to Windows until Linux becomes a robust gaming platform. I'm tired of M$, I hate the MPA, but... what else can I do?
