i think microsoft needs to design what they sell not just sell what they design. vista just isn't worth it. aestheically much nicer than xp other than that no major improvements to be noted from my testing. and ofcourse ms always has to go over the top with dumb ease of use features like the ever annoying security center (i just disable in msconfig services) and windows media player the most unstable annoying media center i have ever seen. where'e is the geeks incentive to bother to download this freely let alone buy this crap? there is none for me. it's a sad thing to me that the giant corporations of america from hollywood down to silicon valley up to seattle just want something to sell and no longer care what that is. i would never sell or make 99% of the things that are mainstream and popular today. it could all be done so much better if only they still cared...
