(you will lost something)... so you need backups, winzips, winrars, avg, norton... and zilions of useless things that make your computer work better.. when in reality, all you need is a good gnome 2.16 or a kde 3.5.4... 3) 90% of the persons use the computer to write documents, access internet, and use email. so the number or persons using Mac and Linux is rasing.... 4) To use the vista, probably you will need an upgrade... (a good graphics for directx10, 64bit cpu, and 2 gb of memory...) here will cost 1000 dollars.. 5) more than half of the persons were windows users and switched to OSX or Linux Here in my country (Brazil) I am selling notebooks with FreeBSD and gnome 2.16 to high executives. and is doing well.. so it shows that the success of the computer is in the easy of use and not in the features it has.... The more important the person in the company, the easy to use and less features must have the computer..... so for me, gnome is the best choice..... Sergio
