It is interesting though. You say that each OS has its strengths that Vista might not have... but in effect you are pointing out that none of those OSes have all those strengths.
If Vista can provide a good stability (which it should, XP is very stable), good ease-of-use, and "chocolately goodness", then it would be the best operating system for general consumption.
I don't have anything on my bookshelf. I use google to find programming resources. This saves me from piling up books on very old technologies. It is also easier to search a web site than it is to load the Book On CD and search that.
Actually, I do have an O'Reilly CSS book in my drawer, but I never use it (because I cannot search it).
I have not used Gmail that much, I prefer to keep the number of email addresses I have to a minimum. That said, this may be a feature that I simply never noticed.
It would be really nice if you could get a list of your emails in RSS format... that way when a new message comes it shows up in your favorite aggregator.
From what I can tell it is mostly a bitmap editor but has a lot of vector features as well. This lines it up with Freehand, but it also competes with Photoshop and Illustrator.
Why not? Who should determine what software is bundled... Other software companies? How about you bundle my competing software with your software. The market perhaps? I think the market has spoken because nobody is complaining except for liberals and foreign governments.
Bundled Microsoft products are not getting a "free ride", they are the ride. People don't buy the operating system just because (otherwise Apple would have succeeded). They buy it for 1) bundled software, 2) supported software. Linux has a lot of bundled software (none linked to Microsoft products mind you), but it does not have much popular supported software (although that is changing rapidly).
Also check out Acrylic which is a Photoship clone.
If I don't want to use MS Messenger (and I don't), I install something else. If I don't know what I want then Microsoft says, "Hey, use ours!" and I am none the wiser... not Microsoft's fault, my fault.

You are saying that you have used Vista in a cluster? That is still in early beta...
Also, from what I can tell, Vista is not suppose to be a server OS. I am sure it will have a complementary version come out in the next few years.

So it sounds like DOA is not Dead on Arrival.
Somehow I doubt that it is the *seeking* that is a need. I think just having food, shelter, pleasure, killing, is a need.
Was this really a "New Object" that was found?
Probably isn't new at all... been around there for quite some time.
Maybe "Recently Discovered" would be a better title.
You can't replace PHP with Ruby on Rails... LAMR doesn't spell anything!

Maybe it is because it is the day FM radio was demonstrated to the FCC for the first time.
Or because Mr. Ed debuts on TV.
Or because President of the United States Ronald Reagan undergoes prostate surgery causing worries about his health.

How do they know it is connected to the Nazi Party?
