OH! so that is what a fixed Vista means :-0, not that is was actually fixed ;-p BTW, the last time I checked crack was not easily available in Malta, and the closest thing, coke, cost an arm and leg (metaphorically of course, in a more literal sense it costs you your head) But those who are in ecstasy about vista must be easily duped.
On a more serious note: there are only three thing that can cause a change: 1. Force 2. Cost 3. Ethics You can make someone do something by forcing them under threat of pain (Uza l-linux jew insawwtek) You can convince them on ground of cost (Iffranka, bil-Linux) Or on Moral grounds (Jekk tuza il-linux imutu anqas nies bil-guh fl'Africa) No. 1 is unacceptable for various well known reasons (but it has occasionally crossed my mind) For No. 2 Cost is not necessarily Euros, time and resources are a cost too, but introduce pirate software, and a dad (or boss) that pays the bills, and there is very little you can save there No.3 While true, is difficult to argue for, and anyway, most people don't care anyway. But on the bight side, you only need one of those points.
