have they done anything to improve memory management and the incredibly insane amount of page faults?
Vista is terrible slow with it's default config, super prefetch, using all the memory and then paging applications your actually trying to run to swap, which is hundreds of times slower than ram, and sure feels like it too.
osx, and linux and most all other operating systems that I've used will not swap memory until the machine is completely out of ram, and are noticeably faster in this area. Vista starts to swap before your even logged in, and page faults like crazy
with 4 gigs of ram, less than one half used, why does vista page fault important programs like dwm.exe, my machine has 7 million page faults on that one app and it's only been turned on 12 hours
It would be more than ready, if everyone ran a standard hardware platform like apple does
screensaver options are a "flaw"

Great except for gnome-screensaver has NO options at all, you cant disable screensavers that your card does not support, or enable only 2d screensavers
or change the text or change the picture folder, or preview
someone submitted a preview screensaver patch, but the maintainers will not accept it
Drive by any AMC installation, you'll see little towers at the gate, those are the RFID towers.
All of USARPAC (hawaii/alaska/japan) has been the test site, they have the towers at each gate, and each supply warehouse door, so far it works pretty well.
Top funded things like this are much easier to field.
Not sure why, but army IT is horrible 10 years behind, they need to fire most of the signal command chain of command, luckly this is NOT being pushed by the IT side, but by the loggies.

Lack of drivers is not the fault of linux, or is it microsoft's doing
it's the hardware manufacturers that refuse to make linux drivers, or open up the specs for the open source community to create the drivers
the cannons eat batteries that bad?
I've taken over 1000 photos with my nikon d50 and I had to charge the photo the first time last night
I dunno, I've taken over 1000 photos with my nikon D50 and I had to charge the battery the first time last night
maybe your thinking of point/shoot digital
catch up, it's already in use in 1 theater! See above.
Not quite but the effect is the same.
Figure a box of screws costs 10 cents, now they need a 5 cent tag, so the DOD pays 15 cents for the same parts.
The contractors that supply the parts are the ones that will be passing on the costs to the gov.
Dont hold your breath too long.
