| So, even as Microsoft claims superior quality over Linux, they act as if they

| superior to Linux, they wouldn't have to bribe people with “marketing help”
| to get them to choose Windows.

Living with Mandriva 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| This is currently my favorite popular distro. From a practical standpoint, I
| feel it is better than Windows Vista. I don’t say that as a Linux slappy.
| Looking at it from an angle of which OS enables me to do the things I need to
| do day in and day out, Mandriva shines. My next article will compare Vista
| and Mandriva 2008 in depth, and I will convince you why 2008 wins.
