I’ve put off purchasing 6 computers so that I could get the upgrade today. Much to my dismay, I was told that I was not eligible for the upgrade program because I was Downgrading to XP and this was a Microsoft decision. so, defeated, I purchased the computers with Vista Business and promptly called Microsoft. I was a bit miffed that Microsoft had the gall to use all the purchases that I have made over the two last years to pad their Vista “Sales” numbers, then turn around and tell me I had no right to the benefits of purchasing vista if I didn’t RUN it!?! so, once I was speaking to Microsoft I was informed that Dell was in fact wrong and that I was entitled to the free upgrade! Armed with the website: https://windows7upgradeoption.com/ProgramInformation.aspx which states: PCs that are licensed for a Program-eligible Windows Vista edition which have been down- graded to Windows XP are also eligible for this Program. However, a clean installation of the upgrade media will be required unless you used recovery media to install the original Windows Vista edition pre-installed on the PC, in which case you can directly upgrade to Windows 7. I was able to reorder the machines with XP and got the free windows 7 upgrade. props go to “Paul” at Microsoft Pre-Sales support for his help in this. I thought your listeners might benefit from my plight. ********** Hey Buzz Crew, In episode 1004 you reported how NASA will not convert to metric units because of “the cost”. I actually worked on the Constellation program for a few months shortly after graduating college. Almost immediately, I was horrified at what I saw from within NASA’s walls. Logisitically, engineers at NASA and most of their contractors live in the 50’s. There *are* computers present, but they’re in terrible shape and locked down to a point of being almost unusable. To install Linux on a project box I had to wait 3 months for approval from Washington (I worked at the cape), and I quit before I heard anything. In order to pull up engineering specs, you can’t simply view them as a PDF from a database. You need to look up the part number, which is truncated because the system was built the year I was born (literally), make a PHONE CALL down to the document center, put in an order for a printout, and a couple hours later pick up your printout or request them to physically scan it and then send you a PDF. Not only that, but there are major buildings in horrific disrepair, such as the Vehicle Assembly Building. Sorry for this depressing e-mail, but people need to know about the state of what was once our nation’s crown jewel. NASA needs a major reset. It has a culture that oppressively resists change and technological investment at every opportunity to a point where I believe it actually costs them more money and potentially more lives. If Obama shut NASA’s doors (I hear Brian Cooley cheering) in favor of privatized space flight, such as Space-X, I wouldn’t be surprised nor disappointed. Love the show!

    I believe with the right approach, Linux can take a great chunk of the market; you just have to give the market what it needs and wants, while allaying its fears. What's needed is a true Linux SMB Edition, targeting specifically the needs and fears of those businesses that are using Windows -- especially those that are still using Windows 2000, which is going to lose support in 2010.
