Augi, didn't you mean to say "push for XP to stay around"?
I used Windows 2000 for a year and a half before I switched to XP, enter SP1. Nowadays XP is stable, great, no real reason to upgrade to Vista. Back then, however I remember there being something with XP about DirectX
And a few other conveniences in the way the filestructure was layed out. Maybe I'll have to switch to Vista someday, but I don't see it any time soon.
*nix is great for whatever purpose you have. I run FreeBSD for my router/firewall, no real reason to use a Linux distro due to my XP machine handling my Exchange calendar/sync to my phone. Thunderbird for email and I game like a madman.
I could use an apple, but I haven't had the need to feel cool in a while.
My point is that I feel you should use whatever OS it is you feel most comfortable with. A lot of people don't have the knowledge to make that decision. That's why something like Vista is even possible.
