Ahem, read for content if it's at all possible. I wrote, and I quote,
VISTA has less than 5% of the market, not WINDOWS. I also said Vista
will grow as people rush out and buy the new lap tops and desk tops that
are "Vista Ready". They are also *usenet* ready. Get it now?

Sheesh!

Maybe you don't understand. I said Windows has most of the market. Even if
Vista has a small percentage right now, the IMPORTANT thing is, and it is
very important, Linux/Ubuntu/Unix has a very small market share. Certainly
not to grow much, even with their marketing department, Alias.

Why you keep preaching and spewing garbage about Ubuntu, your religion,
nobody knows. Maybe if you put your energy into something more
constructive, the planet would be a better place.

Try becoming a Ubuntu salesman, you might even make a sale every two or
three weeks. Enough to keep you in FREE open source software!!!!
