Here's a headline for you:

"90% of IT Professionals Don't Want Vista"
<http://www.computerworlduk.com/management/infrastructure/applications/news/index.cfm?newsid=6258>

Even if this is off by a substantial amount, at the very least this is
REALLY embarrassing to MS.  The number of IT pros willing to look at
alternatives (including Linux) is heartening.

It certainly puts the lie to the MS trolls that seem to pop up in
every thread discussing WinVista to say, "It's the greatest thing
since sliced bread!!!"  Maybe John Dvorak (usually the ultimate
troll-columnist) is onto something when he talks about "The Vista
Death Watch"
