A somewhat different point of view, but using the same subject title.
I'm not about to "upgrade" any of my XP boxes to vista. I doubt that many people will, lacking any profoundly great reason to do so.
(I.e. unless their significant other wishes it done.) There really isn't enough incentive to do so.
I'm not certain to whom Microsoft expects to sell their upgrade, unless it's the people buying machines now expecting to run Vista... and I'd want a full license, were I in that situation.
And with a certain userscript you can even mimic some of the internals of the other browsers.
However, I'm finding that fewer sites seem to require me to do this. Things are improving on the W.W.W. for browsers. (Not just Opera, but it's nice that it's included as well.)
Acrobat shouldn't launch a non-default browser and Windows should allow you to disable or remove IE.
I agree that the default browser should be used, but until I updated to acroread 8, Acrobat would open links in IE. (Swore like heck whenever it happened to me.) It seems to be fixed now, and stuff opens in Opera, like the computer god (or, well, at least me) intends.
Hope you get the "funny" mods for your second point.

Wikipedia has a nicer version of the same diagram. It appears that only the delta phase (or delta prime phase) exhibits this expansion on cooling phenomena.
Cite - verb "to reference" - I cited that paper.
Site - noun "location" - This is my web site. (could be used as a verb.)
Sight - noun/verb related to vision - This is a sight for sore eyes.
And English is not that hard, but it appears that spelling iz.
The largest block I have with using OOo is its lack of a multivariate optimiser (a la Excel's "Solver"). Does SoftMaker's spreadsheet program have that?
I have seen the future and bring you word of the doom which growth nigh.
In the year 2007 Java will be rocked by disaster on the scale which has not been seen - the devastation will be heard 'round the globe.
Repent now!
Oh, um... sorry that was for 1883. I have seen the past! Repent earlier!
Yeah, I'd take a day off from work for $70.00. (okay, $71.06)
Unless there was a really good chance to humilate them (like having a rival company provide me a much better scheme in front of cameras on the court house steps after I won) I doubt that I'd take them to court.
And I'm a bastard... (you may have noticed). It seems that all this fellow really wants is for Verizon to admit they screwed up and to say that they will instruct their customer support on how to quote a price properly. He seems like a nice guy. I doubt that he'd go down that road either.
I'm not sure how much American History was taught in that class.
Here's an interesting take on this. Seems the high school is in an economically depressed area, (yet they have a nice web site); the kid is a bit of a shit-disturber; and even Christians feel really uncomfortable around this lunatic.
Opera 9.02 isn't vulnerable at this site either, but if this is a true PoC of the bug, it does show a major flaw in the security of Firefox. I hope to see FF 2.0.1 RSN.
Damn. I just blew my last mod point, then saw this thread. Your post was my exact thought - "old news." Sorry - you deserve that mod point more than the story I gave it to.
While I do encourage slashdaughters to go to the library, you can also see the story on SciAm's website.

That is where the troops are assembling for the invasion of Canada.

You should see the collection of Bollywood movies that Canadians have. Mind boggling!
Google has re-invented video search.
It would be a Marvel if that hash were to be cracked.
National Geographic has better pics. View the photo gallery.

According to the discoverer, this is patched. Get version 8.0.

As you say (paraphrased) people are people, scenery is whatever is outside and weather is what you live with.
I have no idea how this got to be "informative" ...
We have much friendlier people, better scenery and fewer hurricanes.
I knew there was a reason why my MP3 player is a SANSA. It's not that I'm cheap, it's that I support space exploration.

Hey, don't blame me - I sent them an email . . . oh!
Good one - point for VJ42. I will have to watch those verb tenses in the future.
Why is it that so many people that say this are still alive? Is it someone else's death they're talking about?

Please make the acquaintance of the stories of Anne Boleyn, Marie Antoinette, and Monsieur Robespierre.
Of course, there's also burning people alive.
I'm sure that (most) modern Christians would be appalled at what has been done by their co-religionists in the past.
