If they could set a set price like apple does for OS X, say $130 for the desktop version I am sure they would sell more than enough to make up for lost revenue and head off Linux at the same time. But hey, this is Microsoft we are talking about and they never do anything the easy way. :lol: I doubt they will listen to me, but if they could get the next version out in time and not break too many things like they did with Vista it would be good for the company.

I believe in and fully support open source and it has improved greatly over the last 10 years. In three years (end of 2010) I'm hoping that with even more advanced CPUs and better emulation software that I can make that final leap. I could probably do it now but to completely switch over the home network to Linux would no-doubt t-off my MIS mgr wife. There are only a few pcs of software that I just couldn't live without that are Windows-only.. would have to emulate to get to them. I hope I don't have to eat my words in three yrs! heeh :roll: lol Ryan.. yea, it will be interesting :D

And then there's the other half. Although it would be nice to get some more control over the OS, Window's primary concern is with accessibility for non-computer literate people. Many of the points mentioned can or could however be managed/overridden/hacked/patched by 3rd party software. It would be very nice however, to see some sort of Windows 'Professional' but made for professional windows users, rather than people who have a profession or whatever pro xp was supposed to be implying that would give us a lot more control over windows.

It's a problem on Macs or PC's. The only solution I see is to just pirate your media. No DRM, no problem ;). As far as the malware, it's really up to you to keep yourself protected. Vista comes with antispy, right? You can get your own excellent antivirus free (Active Virus Shield). On top of that just try and avoid bad sites/programs and you should be safe. I don't see any reason MS would block out 3rd party apps, as this is a major selling point for PC's! As far as cost, the price of OS's have steadily gone up, but when getting a PC from a manufacturer w/ the OS installed, the price really doesn't seem to jump much.
