One OS to rule them all Pinky! One OS to find them. One OS to bring them all,, and in the darkness bind them. It won't be long now, Pinky! Tonight we release Windows 7, tomorrow we rule the world!

Yawn. These threads are always the same thing. Eventually Linux fans come on making some claims about "Windows is so insecure waaaa waaaaa waaaa you have to run antivirus which takes up 80% of your memory waaaa waaaaa waaa" and so forth.
Meanwhile, I'm still trying to remember the last time I got a virus. 
I don't know how people pull it off.

Not a problem. 
Seriously, though. You almost have to try to get malware.

Who do you mean by "they" anyway?
X works just fine on lots of distros.

What's with the counting all the time? If you want to close it then just close it, no one can stop you.

It's the fun of it. And it's an opportunity to change course.

Most likely not.
But where there's life, there's ...

Aw crud. I can't even convince myself of that shtuff.
But I'll wait anyway. You see ... Leigh has a brand new bucket of napalm, and he's just itching to use it ... and we haven't fed him any helpless widows or orphans in a whole week ... so this serves two purposes, don't you think?

I like napalm! The problem is, do I want to be the trigger? Naw...I have triggered enough lately. I think I will just sit back and wait for someone else to yank Leigh's chain.
It shouldnt be too long.

Luckily, there are millions of people around the world that haven't been brought up with Windows, so Linux should come naturally to them.... Think about it.
