Just as I suspected, Microsoft "Longhorn", now called "Vista", doesn't offer anything more than what I can do with my Linux and KDE system TODAY, let alone in a year's time.

In fact, it's actually going to restrict its customers even more and offer less, from what I've read here. And it's still a year away.

Just think how far more advanced the Linux desktop will be next year at this time.

I think this is the beginning of the end for Microsoft. All they seem to be doing now is playing catch-up. And strangely enough, people will be forced to pay for their substandard service. Shameful.
