This reminds me of those 100 year inks you can use for certain printers. I
am thinking why not reprint the picture when it has faded, if you still want
a print that is.
I will be upgrading my Windows Vista long before the support has ended.

No, sorry. Ubuntu lasts two years on server, one year on desktop.

You have to pay for Ubuntu to get any support, just like SUSE and the
others. Linux is not free.
I don't know where that rumor came from. Windows is used on DESKTOPS and
Linux and Unix are used as servers. I just witnessed it yesterday. Bon
Voyage, kevpan815. Don't return. You are being blocked from sending anything
to me about Linux and Windows. I am a registered user of Microsoft Products
and part of the team.
