News Comment This is a comment on news story: Time to dump Windows? It's a reply to comment: Never too early or too late by: nycace36  Time to switch to Linux from M$-Windows. Linux is an extremely mature OS, and as all reading this know, you can use a Linux liveCD to ease your way into this (IMHO, best to try this liveCD suggestion for those persons middle-aged or younger who are still using M$-Windows). As another suggestion, PCLinuxOS is a very powerful liveCD distro for doing this! What'll happen is that M$ will 1) 1st ignore the "Save XP petition" and try pushing Windows Vista to the very edges of computer civilization up to June 30th. This would give M$ another several months to try burying Linux through patent/legal threats, patent deals, and whatever else it can muster up. 2) actually extend or eliminate altogether its June 30th XP deadline. Two would be especially plausible if it hits M$ home that their Windows Vista has already sunk, if M$ realizes a noticeably increased uptake of Linux and Mac OS X which it just cannot quell, and if M$ would actually listen to the "Save XP" petitioners .
