You know......Windows is created by Microsoft and it is proprietary, closed-source material, only Microsoft can see it and they only have about 80,000 employees.

Linux on the other hand is being worked on by HUNDREDS of companies and MILLIONS of developers all over the planet.

It is very apparent that Linux is maturing and adding new features at a rate that far outpaces Windows. Linux is more stable and has had some features for years that Windows Vista is finally incorporating.

Frankly, I don't see how Windows can compete in the long run. I was looking at the history of Red Hat on the web - the company timeline included quotes from Microsoft executives - they said Linux is growing like a cancer and is the biggest threat to Microsoft's future. I would tend to agree......but I don't think "cancer" would be the right term since it is so much better than the original creation it is replacing.
