2005 sees increased astro turfing as M$ loses market share
as per predictions, and because M$ is losing money
instead of fixing their products, they would rather
spend it on astro turfing posting like this
hoping to gather up more stupid payees
that will pay Billy Goats some more money.
2004 is the year M$ lost the desktop technology race.
M$ can't catch up most medium spec GNU/Linux distros
like the 200 odd free liveCDs.

Some of them like DyneBolic are intended for multimedia
production. Its free and done up by experts
You don't need to empty your wallets out and leave
it hungry looking. Linux makes your wallets fat.
A simple test that M$ can't now achieve..
Run this MP3 test described below...
With a 750MHz PC/256Mb RAM, I can burn 4Gb of
files (14,000+ files) to DVD at 4x speed with K3b, and
download 2Gb file to that same
hard disk through a 100MHz network card.
The 2Gb file transfer finishes before the 4Gb of files
are burned. And I'm listening to uninterrupted MP3 music
with Mepis, Knoppix, or any of the basic GNU/Linux liveCD
distros. (The disk doesn't even make thrashing noises
because I use 7200.7 drives from seagate)
In fact use any PC you want to to see if you
can achieve anywhere near the same performance!
Also interesting is that most distros come with OpenOffice.
If you do switch over to OpenOffice on Linux,
you can also switch over legacy windopes environments that need
to be kept with the OpenCD that has free open source programs like
OpenOffice for windopes.

As well as open office, the CD has 7zip which compresses
better than winzip, audacity which is powerful enough to
filter speech from music files, as well as firefox to replace
bug ridden IE and thunderbird to replace outlook giving
safer e-mail and avoidance of the many stoopid email viri.
