 Matthew Szulik, chief executive of Linux vendor Red Hat, said on  
 Monday that although Linux is capable of exceeding expectations   
 for corporate users, home users should stick with Windows: "I     
 would say that for the consumer market place, Windows probably    
 continues to be the right product line," he said.

 However, Szulik expects Linux to be ready in a couple of years    
 after it has had time to mature. In the mean time, he is adamant  
 that corporate users would be surprised by how much the operating 
 system has to offer. "Consumers want USB drivers and digital      
 camera support; but for the enterprise desktop, that is a little  
 bit different - that area is ripe," he said. "We think that the   
 enterprise desktop market place is much more strategic and has    
 buyers whose needs we can exceed."

So I wonder why my USB stuff works *better* under Linux than Windows. Maybe
because I'm running Mdk?

Ah, well, he can speak for himself, I suppose.
