Don't always agree with Al, but this is good, I bet MS gets pressure to lower some prices or give "Urban" discounts.

Truth is, been with linux a week and wouldn't go back to windows if was free.:)

Sorry if this is a repost

Sorry if this is a repostThat's all we need is crack pot like Al Sharpton, trying to affiliate himself with Linux.

it's under a category called: linux jokes.

I was going to link to the category, but there are some 'inappropriate' links...

In a comment on this article (http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/06/23/2008-elections-by-server/) about the server/OS choices of candidates' web sites, someone added:

" Also, if you're going to include Al Gore and Fred Thompson, then how
can you forget Al Sharpton - Windows 2000, NeoSpire Inc"

Don't know if that was true, either, but if so, he could definitely use an upgrade to Linux.

The previous comment was patently offensive, by the way.

Al Sharpton is much more insightful then people give him credit for. Being black, outspoken, and highly opinionated won't win you many friends, but it's the hairdo people truly fear.
