I didn't volunteer for the Longhorn testing after what happened to me on the XP beta test.
I may try the RC1 of Vista though - according to their Vista compatibility test program, I have one PC it should work on - It currently has Windows XP-Media and on a 64 bit processor that is a huge waste. And I have it 100% backed up.

I will probably upgrade to Vista as soon as lots of people try it and service pack 1 inevitably comes out. However when my PC finally gets too long in the tooth, I'm inclined to try a Mac, as long as people don't assume that I've turned gay or Democrat.

It's really funny that the guy's link to the "visual tour of Vista" at the bottom of the story doesn't work!!!

"year after year after year of dreary sales in comparison to wintel based pc's........"
Windoze outsells Mac for the same reason Budweiser beer outsells Samuel Adams: because of inertia and lack of discrimination among customers. Anyone who thinks Apple makes "junk" must not have tried any of their recent products.

And what will this do that XP won't do? I think I'll pass.

"And what will this do that XP won't do? I think I'll pass."
And what will this do that LINUX won't do? I think I'll pass.
And what will this do that a MAC won't do? I think I'll pass.
I'm already there on my Linux conversion, but I will run my current 2000 till it drops. Then adios muchacho Gates.

Thanks...I already have been on the MSFT sites. I was hoping there would be a "critical" visual tour...

Your "critical" virtual tour comes after you attempt to install it ;)

I did not think about it till I read this, All the Mac Heads by choice that I know personally are tin foil democrats except one and she is a Truman Democrat.

Funny. All the Mac heads I know are non-liberals, and several are hard-core conservatives. Anyway, one should buy the best product, and I can't imagine how anyone could actually think Windoze is better than the Unix-based systems like Mac OS X or Linux. My OS X has never crashed and never been infected with a virus. Windoze owes its dominance entirely to historical accident (getting adopted by IBM is the early days of the PC). Most people buy it simply because it is dominant, not because it is better.

Do you still use a Commodor 128. Mine have cp/m built in
