time i have run windowZe for business was NT4 (i go to customers) since 
then i have started running Linux on laptop (started with RH7.0, no dual 
boot either).

But, for many out there it may not beat XP because there is no vendor 
stands behind "Linux" to support. Also, Linux has become very general 
term and i guess these days we gotta be specific about a Linux 
distribution (F7, Ubuntu, SuSE etc). If there is a vendor who is ready 
to pre install Linux (any distro) and extend it to full supportability 
while providing all the drivers (video, wireless specifically) then it 
can beat any OS (in my opinion OS X also).

The question, who is gonna do that.

Hum.. why do you think Linux beats  OS X  which is based on 
BSD Unix?
