Here is the copy that they sent out:
It's time to get a Mac. If you're thinking of upgrading to Vista, you'll probably need a new computer. Why not get a Mac? It's simpler, more secure, and way more fun. And it works with the stuff you already have, like printers and cameras. So before you upgrade anything, you owe it to yourself to check out a Mac.
Microsoft's latest upgrade and the level to which the hardware industry and their license holders and OEM partners are going to be holding the average consumer hostage and lead them down the expensive path of entirely new hardware upgrades when most users still will not be using multitouch geomapping 3 dimentional free form graphic displays or anything much more powerful than editing together a video of the kids for grandma or taking out a lurker in ultima online.
In the case of XLsuite and our development plans, I've been thinking about the fact that as a browser based application, it's no longer dependent on that whole MS upgrade path as in reality, a Linux configuration would probably be more stable and reliable and have a lower TCO and less administration needed to run. You could use firefox and maybe open office instaled at most, no more spy ware attacks from the girl in accounting opening smiley.exe that she found on the internet site freetrojans.com
Nice to see that I'm thinking the same way apple is

Hi,
What a post? I believe Linux specially with Ubuntu will rule both MS & Mac in the near future. The only one interesting thing I saw on Mac and hope it will show up on Ubuntu is VMware Fusion with the ability to run multiple applications at the same time. If you are comparing the three products before buying your next TP you might want to look at the comparisons at ITComparisons.com In particular at the two following locations Mac versus Vista and Vista versus Mac I hope this will be helpful to every one.
Enjoy,
