Good! :-)
Do realize that the choice in the matter is going
away slowly.
From my perspective, that progression has slowed down to a crawl...A
few months ago, I started hearing rumblings about "NT to UNIX
migration services" and such.
People really are starting to get a clue. It's taken far too long,
and there's a LONG way to go...but people are definitely getting a
clue. Three years ago, when I said to someone "eew, you're running
windows" the response was "I LOVE WINDOWS!!"...nowadays its "I know,
it sucks, I hate it, but I have no choice right now." I'm not talking
about isolated incidents...I'm talking about EVERYONE I speak
to...even several suits.
I think this is hugely significant, and it should give us hope.
