As a sort of parallel news item, it's interesting to note, that in the UK
there is increasing dissatisfaction with M$ among IT pros. In a Quocirca
online questionnaire last year, 8,000 IT professionals’ responded & it was
noted that there was *deep* unease with M$’s Windows. Linux is gaining
ground here, at Windows’ expense.
As the article says: "The days are over when Microsoft could rely on being
the only software platform in town"
