I voted "no"!

Linux is far better than windows, IMO, and by the time longhorn is actually released, I hope that the linux distributions out there will actually be easier to use, and so will therefore be more accessible to more users than before.

I have had SuSE on this PC for about four months now, and only ever use windows for games. Saying that, however, I have got half life and warcraft 3 working from inside linux now, so I use windows even less often

Microsoft may be a huge corporate empire at the moment, but history has shown that even the biggest empires will fall - I mean, fifty years ago, Stalin ruled Russia, an empire of millions, but 150 years before that, Russia was called Muscovy and it was essentially a bunch of farms with no organisation and got beaten up by the big player of the day... Sweden!

PS: shouldn't the poll have options for "yes, and it will be a legal copy" / "yes, it will be an evaluation copy" / or just "no"
