MemberAnd that is why I moved away from OS like Linux, OS/2, GEOS, etc. As the really cool stuff are commercial. Things like watching Directv from my KWorld (KW-TVUSB506RF-PRO) TV/radio card, or having my Yahoo VoIP USB7200 phone on my wireless laptop just won't happen if I was running Linux.
Even about 95% of my video/audio streams are in WMA format. And Linux can't do that either. Even Linus Torvalds (the author of Linux) wrote in his book that he even uses Windows. Just something to think about.
And the way things are going, PC manufactures are moving towards compatibility with Vista only. Meaning it will become very hard to buy a machine that will even run Linux at all in the future.

MemberYes, I see that Dell is now selling Linux based computers, as is Fry's Electronics and several more manufactures now rapidly assessing the market because of Vista. I left Microsoft, over a dispute not being able to get replacement CDs for a Dec 2006 purchased of Windows Professional that had bad media in the package.
I am running "SimplyMepis 6.5" the 64bit version and my VOIP works in the house, work, or by the swimming pool. Streaming wma is not a problem as you indicate... Maybe you tried an old very outdated version of Linux... Maybe it was not purchase from the distributor and you were not entitled to support?
In my opinion their is a less of a learning curve for a some Linux Distros than is required to learn Vista. For the average computer user that uses the computer to connect to the web, read the newspaper from their home town, does a little e-mail with family and close friends, and take a few digital photos of the kids to e-mail to their mother, then Linux is easier, with less problems that using a XP, or Vista.
Windows Media Player in Vista, requires you to purchase extra software to play a DVD, or back-up your purchased music into MP3 format so you can listen to tunes as you surf the web. TV guess you have not created a PVR with your computer, as a lot of Linux users do. Looking at Europe and Asia most computers are sold with TV installed, something unheard of in states side Vista powered computers...
If you use newsgroups, IRC, and Instant Messenger Linux is easier to set-up and commercials are not intrusive as they are using Windows.
Linus Torvalds book was published when?
BillW50, as you should be aware, experienced computer users are comfortable using more than one home based computer system, more often they can use Amiga, Apple, Linux, BEOS, Linux, and Windows/Vista.
The average computer user's system in the states is windows without a current updated and working anti-virus software package. Nor do the majority of computer users defrag their hard drive, run software to clean out advertisements, malware or empty their computer of temp files.
I can only make a wish that the advertising companies like this one, will begin to offer Linux users similar features, since it is becoming a larger user base than most people/companies realize.
