I agree. I just installed vista 64 on my machine and instantly realized that I do not want to use Xp32 anymore. Every game runs smoothly. I can now make use of 8 gig of memory. Cygwin and X11 still works. No compatibility issues so far. MS produces, and the Windows environment dedicates to create user frendly products, no wonder some geeky guys dislike it because it makes them failed to distinguish from common users. But in the long run I seriously believe MS actually benifits mankind.

Why should PC users bother paying for the ability to run an inferior OS?
