POPSMicrosoft acknowledges Linux threat to Windows I run a dual boot as there are still a few things I require from windows but Linux out performs windows in almost every way. It now has a wealth of software to back it up, which was once the major factor in putting potential users off. Microsoft have to face up to the fact that their monopoly is beginning to fall apart and mainly through their own greed and arrogance.

There is a clear need for an open alternative, but the codec controversy could make it difficult.
