From the article: "Jim's switching back from Vista to XP on his workday machines."

"At the end of his column, Louderback wrote, "If Microsoft can't get Vista working, I might just do the unthinkable: I might move to Linux.""

So, this whole article is based on a silly comment made by someone who is switching from Vista back to XP and thinks that switching to Linux is unthinkable? :scratch:

But the headline said that Vista is driving people to Linux... :scratch:

If anything, Vista is driving most people back to XP and this article proves it.
