btw, I'll never use Vista. I'll resort to learning Unix/Linux/Macs before that happens.

I have been doing analysis for months now to find the right operating systems for the people I support. There are several here who would be happy also to help you decide what the right thing for you is.

Many feel as you do. You have an added twist- you have a business to run. There are alternatives that will enable that as well.

My peer mail is open. I will happily share what I know.

LOVE the graphic!

I believe the photo you are showing of Mr. Hyan-Lee is incorrect. What he is doing is showing you the Vista white paper explaining the benefit of the Aero-glass feature and why it is so important to use it to gloss over the other "features" of Vista.

Like bugs.

Back when dos 6.0 was released, there was some buzz about a program called Microsoft Windows. I swore that I would never use a computer where you didn't have to use the CLI to make it do things. Well, almost 20 years later, I'm using Windows XP Professional. I still get my CLI fix from our server though. No bulky GUI there! I wrote an article about my experience with Vista here: http://www.gartnerwebdev.com/2007/05/29/windows-vista-sure-looks-nice-but-wait/

Funny, LOL. And ironic, because this what happens when some people expect something that doesn't happen (Vista having lots of bugs): if it's not reality, you make it reality and a joke is born.
No, not use Windows doesn't work, LOL. Btw, you were probably one of the ones who also said in the 90s you would never use Windows and in 2001 that you'd never use XP. If you'll learn Unix/Linux, by the time you master it Vienna will be out already, regarding Macs there's nothing to learn, it's basically a computer for kids or noobs.

Vista really has no more bugs than any other software package of it's size and maturity. The issue most people are having is that it's difficult to find drivers for Vista and a lot of legacy software no longer works either. Is this because of bugs? No - it's because of a drastically different code base. The last operating system that I said I would never use was Windows ME - and I never did. I don't hate Microsoft nor am I a "Bill Basher". I look up to any hack that can do what he has done.

An example is items on the Task Bar. Right click on the entry and try to select Close. Half the time you can't because the entry doesn't get proper focus.
The card games quit often mess up the co-ordinates for the card location. These are mature apps.
It does not inspire confidence in the OS.
