I bought a new laptop with Vista pre-installed about a week ago, and have been playing with it non-stop since then. I haven't had any problems with it yet, and the only gripe I have with it currently is that the photo gallery codecs for my RAW format photos are still in the works. So far my experience with Vista has been quite positive, and I like it myself. I also like Ubuntu and have it running on two of my machines at home, but it's definitely not Vista. If Linux is ever going to become a dominant player in the home desktop market, they have a long way to go. Two years is a bit optimistic IMHO.
My girlfriend and I were talking about this very thing last weekend. Russia, just like the good 'ol USA, has made it clear that they will use military force against any country that harbors terrorists after their hostage situation. The borderless threat that is terrorism will drag every country into a huge war. Russia, Spain, the Phillipines, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the USA leading the way with two fronts in Afghanistan and Iraq is just the beginning.
Neither candidate is going to be able to single-handedly stop a world war. Bush has already made it clear that he doesn't play well with others, with his tired declaration of "your either with us or against us". Kerry may be able to undo some of the damage by resuming good relations with our allies, but it's most likely too late as a whole rash of terrorists are being born in Iraq under US occupation.
