Hi,
. . . how going public with the Windows code is going to hurt Windows while a public code base helps Linux? I'm wondering if Microsquish is more concerned about hackers using the swiss cheese for attacks, or all the wrongful death suits from people looking at MS code and dying laughing.
I want to switch to Linux more and more each day. If it wasn't for my gaming habits, I would.
Build a bleeding edge Windoz game machine. Use your old machine as a "new" Linux box (it'll do better for most tasks than a bleeding edge machine under Windoz). Give your old Linux machine to a computers for schools program. Repeat every two years or so. That way you'll have the best of all worlds. You'll have the necessary killer machine for games, a very usable Linux box, and you'll be helping the infiltration of a real system into the schools. :)
