Of course what Dr. Goldberg has written is 100% true. And this conclusion seems even more likely, considering that Linux / UNIX tend to encapsulate both their data and their processes more than Windows does. I'd like very much to get a more serious, Linux-based PC one day, but one factor which has caused me to hesitate, has been the large number of 3D applications I currently have installed under XP. Thus, while Linux even offers us good alternatives in 2D graphics, I feel that some catching up needs to be done in 3D, while the really good 3D apps are highly expensive, both for Linux and Windows. But in the past I've purchased 3D graphics software which was at the bottom of the price scale for Windows, which does not exist yet for Linux. Mind you, the companies which sell 3D graphics / game design software, also have their own agenda for making some versions of it available to Windows users for $ 200 etc.. They don't really make profit off those $ 200. But that also makes me look to projects such as WINE, for maybe one day allowing some of my apps to run under that future Linux computer I'm hoping for. Because sure as taxes, I'm not going to buy Vista !
