My kids are heading off to college and are in the market for laptops. The question they had for the salesman was if there was anything other than Vista available. I was so proud. His response was that they no longer bother with XP. Another customer suggested that they look at Apple and another customer suggested dual booting it with Ubuntu ( why not Fedora? ). I was shocked when I asked if either were in the field. Nope, a mechanic and doctor. While it might have been true that PCs were becoming synonymous with Windows boxes, I think that tide is heading back the other way. Particularly when I hear that the Apple boxes are becoming very popular as they work better with iPods and iPhones than does Windows.
