The amount of buzz vista has generated is disappointing. No one is excited. Why will anyone pay $150 for an OS which is more secure, networks well, reboots less - which all modern OSes other than Windows already offer - wheres the innovation billy? About transluceny and document preview - I am pretty sure I will turn it off to speed up the poor machine - just like I do with the eye candy effects in Windows XP.
Recently I installed Mandriva linux 10.1 on a dell latitude X300 laptop. Its so responsive, boots fast, shutsdown fast ( making up for the lack of sleep - and I dont miss sleep - anyway it used to take the same time for windows to wake up ), has a good set of applications out of the box - nothing I miss of. If only I can get the wireless networking working...damn you broadcom..
Well I resisted so far and thought will not say it - OS X rocks. Perhaps Windows 2015 can catch up with what OS X 10.4 is now. Come on Sheeple get a Mac mini and see what an OS oughta be.
