Cor,
Personally I'm indifferent that Christopher did not respond, as I consider
the fact that AT&T is considering Linux desktops a non-issue.

Personally choosing Linux over Windows is akin to picking BMW over Mercedes
or picking Ford over Chevy or picking Honda over Toyota. In the end they
both get the job done, does it really matter?

Especially with projects such as Mono were you can run VB.NET applications
on Linux?

Just a thought
Jay
