• I say use what ever operating system you like. But if you think Vista is so great let ask you a question. Have you ever tried any Linux? If you are computer savvy enough to set up the language, keyboard, and simple broadband internet connection I will send you free of charge a CD or a DVD if you have a DVD recordable drive. There is a a little program called Puppy. Let me tell you Puppy aint no dog. It loads completely into your temporary memory. You can take the CD / DVD out once it is booted up. It does not touch your hard drive unless you chose to install it there. Because it is already in your temporary Memory it is really fast. Don't hate something just because you don't understand it. Linux is doing some really exciting and innovative things. Give it a free test drive. I hope this is OK for the rules here. My email is turnerconst@hotmail.com if you are interested in a free copy of Puppy and tell me if you have a rewritable DVD or not. You also need to be able to boot from you CD / DVD and have at least 128 Megs of RAM.
  Happy computing. Happy computing! In reply to: "Does Vista's stunted growth hint at the death of the desktop?"

• First try then talk
  You are right about the fact that nobody will really know how buggy Vista is until it is released and used on the open market. However, If Microsoft's history means anything, then we can expect either multiple editions or multiple service packs. The problem with playing it as close to the vest as Microsoft does is that the feedback from others is limited. Even the Anti-virus companies are having trouble getting the information of the inner workings of Vista. I will be greatly surprised if Vista isn't full of bugs. It is after all largely untested in the real world and it has a huge volume of code. If you love Vista and don't mind paying the price for it use it. As for me Xp was the end of the line and I am switching to Linux and loving it.
