Getting A Handle On Vista

visination.com wrote to mention a news.com article which runs down some of the basics on MS's new Operating System. From the article: "Among the key features of Vista as it currently stands are: security enhancements, a new searching mechanism, lots of new laptop features, parental controls and better home networking. There will also be visual changes, thanks to Avalon, ranging from shiny translucent windows to icons that are tiny representations of a document itself. On the business side, Microsoft said Vista will be easier for businesses to deploy on multiple PCs and will also save costs by reducing the number of times computers will have to be rebooted."

    Someone got it before me I'm pretty sure... but let's say no one did. He ALWAYS is on a potty break, seeing how he assigns true to reboot, therefore the condition always returns true. I'm a genius. Correct syntax would be if (reboot == true) { potty_break(); } (Notice the double "=") Ok, now I stop being a smartass.

    ...wake me when they put in something that I haven't already been able to do for 5 or 10 years.
