Re: PCs to a useful state

"Thanks to Microsoft, the year of Linux on the desktop is approaching ever closer.

Or am I missing something?"

- A decent AD campaign. This would have been a ggod time for IBM to run a Linux advert campaign not last decade like they did.

Actually I had the opportunity of seeing some of the latest W10 adverts last week when I visited my mother. They struck me as deeply corporate written - you know the type:

"You must push the product, emphasise the compatibility and above all you must trash-talk the opposition".

So they pushed the product and how it looks, emphasised the compatibility with a few of the better known applications (of which a few were cloud based anyway) and included the line "I couldn't do this on a Mac" at some prominent point.

I think that Microsoft will be sorry for that...
