		<description>&quot;Vista has it’s many annoyances but it would have to crawl out of my screen and wedge my keyboard somewhere uncomfortable to make me go so far as to get rid of Windows entirely.&quot;

Thank you for being honest, that there is the biggest obstacle to Linux adoption: Microsoft is what people are used to and as long as Microsoft is &quot;not too bad&quot; they will stay with what they know.

So many Linux advocates are wasting their own time and everybody else&#039;s by running small circles trying to be more like Microsoft when they should be working on a viable alternative that really is an alternative. People who are reasonably happy with MS-Windows are going to stick regardless, it&#039;s their choice.</description>

		<description>I used Linux as my everyday OS, until Vista came along. I never really got on with XP...

That said, the Zoostorm sounds fine.

You haven&#039;t said what &quot;everyday&quot; use is. Is that everyday PC Pro use (i.e. business use) or everyday home user or everyday gamer?</description>
