[BadVista Advocate] Novell and Microsoft

[Jacob Maynard]

I agree with this option. If you have a fully functional virtual desktop
when Microsoft can't even get it right, that gives free software a huge
leg up on the situation. It's easier for corporations to want to switch
with useful applications like this. And if corporations switch, home users
will want to switch. It's all about familiarity.
