Back to the original posting. Its good to see that Sun Microsystems placed this software as freely available and open-sourced for the computing community to use. With over 4 million downloads there obviously is a big need to run different OSs - see

Pity Microsoft wasn't as altruistic. There may be many who love Vista/Microsoft but I bet they either have a vested interest and when I see comments cropping up about this OS in particular most (and I do mean most, dont like it and the way MS have gone about implementing it as well as the way it downloads things "for your benefit/convenience") its saddening.
But then again I support minority views and if you love it, want it and work with it - all power to you. Minorities have inalienable rights too.
