[Gllug] oses

[Anthony.Leung at ubsw.com]

To further fuel the non-argument that is the war of the OSes, I'm 
just wondering if there needs to be a response to windows XP from 
linux for it to do anything more than remain the underdog. I've just 
seen XP and if it's as stable as 2000, then it should do very well. 
Okok, in terms of lower level functionality it sucks like a mofo, but 
in terms of usability and presentation, XP is really really nice. I'm 
in no way saying the whole thing is a good package: there are some 
truly awful ideas, but shouldn't there be a move to provide a more 
user-focused version of Linux that's a suitable reply?
