Till the John Q. Public learns how to use Linux and it can run the Office Suite no one is going to pack up and move.

Two years is plenty of time for that point to arrive.

Hah...Linux hit in 1991 or so...Linux still remains a geek OS. Although, Red Hat is really doing well with their flavour of Linux. I run 8.0 and that's pretty sweet. I haven't tried Red Hat 9.0 yet. I've noticed that even when running with few services, Linux is becoming more and more a resource hog like Windows. I currently run RH 8.0 on a P2/400/256Mb RAM and sometimes it is sluggish. I can't imagine what RH 9.0 would be like. I run one of the latest versions of FreeBSD on a 486DX/80 with 64Mb RAM and it screeeeeeeeeeeeeeams, except when compiling :)
