They will not use vista either. Yeah. read it again. Somehow microsoft has
instilled in them that this is the only way to write a document and send
e-mails. They will _not_ change to Linux or vista. windows 98 is just fine
however. They hate those superb cast iron IBM keyboards that we all love.
They want proper plastic keyboards and a mouse with a wire. The menus are not
in the right place in openoffice anyway they will tell you. They feel safe
with xp and office. In the real world thats what there is. I'm dealing with
housewives who do word processing on a part time basis. They simply cannot
change. To them, Openoffice and Linux is a joke.

M$ on new hardware? These housewives would be forced to learn new

Actually, M$ have recently announced that they are extending support for
XP, for some unknown reason people are not buying as many Vista copies
as M$ expected :-)
