have been a tester and a lot of other things for many years. Have attended many microsoft road shows and many start-up events for microsoft for a long time and have finally reached the end of my worthless endeavors. VISTA is pure garbage as was the initial XP, Only made worthwhile by people such as you and myself. I have 7 computers in my home and only 1 has XP. I am not a LINUX freak, but it sure beats the hell out of WINDOWS. I recommended UBUNTU, PCLINUX and XANDROS. They sure beat the hell out of microsoft and are a lot faster, safer and more secure. Never again will I use microsoft whatever.
