Incidentally, I find it sort of funny and sort of annoying that there are so many Vista defenders out there, when my own experience is that, yeah it runs well enough, but only after turn off all the crap like this and the graphical effects, and even then it's a little slow for a brand new OS on a brand new computer.
Vista Home Basic 64 is a pre-configured Vista with all the crap turned off.
I say stick to the status quo until we know we can't.
The problem with that is, what if the "oh we can't stick to the status quo" moment is actually a massive human extinction event?
The risk is that the "bullet has already been fired" so to speak. It won't hit for another 50 to 100 years, but it's on the way, and it'll cause damage when it finally does hit.
We don't know for sure if that's the case, but there certainly is a risk.
The show-stopper is store salesmen who don't actually believe that a "layman user" could get along just fine with Linux and not XP or Vista.
My job is an MS only shop. I still use a Linux netbook for presentations. It works just fine, and cost about as much as a non-OEM version of Windows Vista Home Basic alone..

They've got "flying like a dodo" down, it's only a few steps more to eagle level!
That's just because you go to parties made up mostly of squares.
I fold, you win the Internets.
No, you are missing the point. We will liberate the whales, and then equip them with lasers, so we won't need a Navy!
YOU ARE MORTAL SO YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. Make your life worth something instead of cowering from shadows.
I do that, yeah! But I still have to see the last season of BS:G, so I'm really afraid of the terrorists!

It's okay. It's for profit.
My 1.6l Ford Fiesta Diesel gets 51 miles per US gallon. The new Fiesta Econetic would officially get something like 60.
I thought it was the Department of Redundancy Department? Or is that someone else?

The law of diminishing returns kicks in around 10.
Yeah, but why do that if you can get 20 MBA's to achieve 200% accurate knowledge of everything!

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
15% of MBA's will get you the correct statistics though.

Did you put on your robe and wizard hat again?
MC / MCSE is about more than just VB. There's C++ too. Where friends have access to your privates.
My brain runs ReiserFS.
On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea.
Nations that go that route usually don't fare well once there is a serious downfall in the economy.
It's a good thing that'll never happen here.
Oh crap.
Pah, I can tell from all the way over here that you are thinking about Natalie Portman.
Was the paper about h3rb4l v14gr4?

It was "get off my lawn".
You're welcome!
