Dugg

This post somehow got Dugg over the week-end.  Must have been a pretty slow week-end from a news perspective.  Page views doubled.  Many thanks to my (unknown) benefactor: I don’t make any money from page views on this site, but a few reactions from the Digg crowd were interesting.  I guess I will have to sharpen my writing (and thinking) from now on.  To summarize my (fairly muddled) point: there is no comparison between the user experience on the two systems but the stability of a distribution like Ubuntu and the availability of useful third-party software on GNU/Linux makes it a viable alternative to Windows for business types like me.  It wasn’t so even very recently and that is a big change for MSFT, especially as it is trying to convince people to fork fresh cash for Vista.  If I have to switch systems anyway, why not go the Linux route?
