| Before I installed Vista, I checked the hardware by installing a

| Acceptance of the Linux open source operating system has been rising for

| That progress is remarkable compared to the six years it took Microsoft to 
| get from Windows XP to Windows Vista, she added.

| No wonder the company needs a "fact-rich program" to convince people why they 
| should "proceed with confidence" -- its own announcements must have given 
| plenty of business IT managers shaky legs.
