Could Vista be the end for Nortons?

The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

I had a very hard time explaining to a customer the other day that the viruses around for the linux operating system were virtually zero. (about 40 of which all of them are "contained".

I think what strikes me as interesting, is that if we took a poll, 98% of us are using ms-based operating system - when a far better OS is available, and linux is simply a lot friendlier than it used to be!

So, what's preventing us from the switch? Software? My hangup is my accounting software, couldn't get it working with a windows emulator.

Tony, you post reminded me about two virtulization projects that you might try looking at, Xen and [http://www.vmware.com/download/server/]VMWare[/url]. Both have freely downloadable virtual machine servers - maybe worth trying one of them? I've been meaning to, but had actually forgotten about it.
