And on the Linux side, I can be on the phone (Skype) while listening to the radio (shoutcast/xmms) while running my mail client/calendar/contacts manager (Kontact) and surfing in Konqueror *and* Firefox and have a couple of shells open and also a pdf document and be editing a web page (jEdit) while also editing a photo for that web page (GIMP)... and I can even move 700MB CD images (iso's) from drive to drive... and my music doesn't skip a beat... not once... not ever. Whereas, when I'm listening to the same station using Winamp on XP, if I just open up a single large document in Acrobat reader while I'm surfing the Internet and editing a web page, the music *always* skips and stutters. Always. That tells me that Linux knows how to use my hardware much more efficiently; that the load balancing and shifting across apps is truly graceful; light years ahead.
Thank you Carl! Very well put!
