[olug] How One Microsoft User Made The Switch To Open Source

[Trent Melcher]

Yes I believe your right, If you are a MS customer you probably have paid
for it a couple times over.

I was actually impressed with the new OS, granted MS did put on the show, so
yes they are going to toot their horn about there product.  But, IMHO I
think they have finally had a wake up call and a real kick in the ass to put
a product out there that is worth something, I mean the benchmarks they
showed (again their stats so take it as you will) were so out there, what
did they do throw all their current OS's out the window and do a total
rewrite?

It has tempted me a little to load it up and check it out.

True/yes - they gave me the time to go. No one I know of had to outright
pay M$ to attend their marketing blitz....

But, did we not all pay for it? Don't we all???? ;)
