Thinking of saying hasta-la-vista to Microsoft?

I have been dabbling in Linux for years, but the rise of Ubuntu and Suse Linux has created a believer in me. I imagine a day soon when commercials such as this go national. In contrast, Microsoft’s $500 million dollar ad campaign to remind all Windows users that the name of the game is “pay the toll.” The cost of this new operating system might leave you feeling “wow, I spent money on this, again?”
