Interesting to note that with all the Vista beta testers out there, it still only has two votes.

I only hope that this is a sign that Microsoft's days as top dog in the OS market are numbered....

At the moment it's 28 votes to XP, and 39 votes to all the Linuxes added up....

Personally I use Debian, it's the best distro of all of them IMO.
