Even if bus speeds increase to 10 GB/s? I mean eventually I/O speeds will make a TB trivial. Can you remember a time when it didn't take a long time to move around the full capacity of the largest storage medium? It's not like we had SATA II speeds when 10GB was a big drive.
I am also one of the few on/. (presumably) who bought Vista, about a year ago. I also know one other person who bought it. Vista Ultimate for both of us. I bought it because I got it cheap with my student discount and it has features that I really like. Fast user switching while joined to a domain (means I can use my XBox as a MCE AND join a domain to get my media from my server) is a great feature, others are the automated backup features and the new escalation system means I never have to log on as an Admin (kinda works like sudo). Neither of us have had any problems but both of us run current hardware; Core 2 duo 2.66, 4GB ram, and a decent ~$100 graphics card. If you run it on decent hardware it's fine. I think most of the people who have problems are trying to run it on several year old or bargin hardware. Mind you our hardware is not terrible expesive, you can buy it all on New Egg for around $500 including a hard drive and Intel Mobo. I also run Ubuntu on the PC I replaced with this one, Celeron 2.4 with 1GB of ram. It runs pretty good, not as fast as my main machine but who would expect it to. The main reasons I use Vista over Linux is the fact that Likewise is still not quite their yet, I can't run Visual web 2008, the Microsoft Office 2007 replacements really don't measure up, Intuit doesn't want to make anything for linux, and too many other normal users use my computer and expect windows. As it stands now everything I do works in Vista but not in Linux so I use windows.
In Arizona we have the "Stupid Motorist Law." So if you decide that those signs that say "Do NOT cross while flooded" are only a suggestion you better be able to afford the helicopter ride because it is not free.
And break my Lotus 123 compatibility...I don't think so!
In all seriousness what was Microsoft supposed to do, not be compatible with the dominant spreadsheet app of the time? What should they do now, break backwards compatibility?
Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Dell 6400 Core Duo 1.66 w/ 2GB Ram and 30GB HDD - No issues
Home built Core2duo 2.6 w/ 4GB Ram and 320GB SATA - No issues
Home Built p4 2.4 w/ 2GB Ram and 320GB SATA - No issues, this is the only one out of the three that ran XP noticably faster.

Because unlike Apple Microsofts primary customers are Enterprises. Planning 5 years in advance is useless when all you have is rumors.
Many states are larger than entire countries in Europe. What, are these 13mpg busses supposed to stop at everyones house in the suburbs?

The Amish are great "barn raisers" maybe they can help.
Explain how this would work with Vista. Using the default settings that is.
I misunderstood you to mean that hopefully it was not organic as in living.

Why do we hope that?
