[Good article deleted]

I think that this article pretty much sums it up. While the Microsoft media 
machine is trying to make people make the switch, there really is no need
for the majority of people to switch. They will, though, because there is 
the promise of something new and exciting over the horizon. I'm already
hearing people talk about bits, and it makes me wonder how many of them 
actually know what a bit is. "Guess more of them must be good, right?" If
that were the case, we'd all be running Atari Jaguars and DEC Alphas.

Just my two bits worth.
