...agreed. I haven't run a MS OS for a few years and have a question for you (or for anyone who reads this and knows).
Will Vista need to have access to the Internet in order to run at all? It appears so from news about it. I'm thinking about installing it for testing Windows applications written by me and family but only plan to give it local access (home net with UNIX and terminals for the Internet).

Keep your eye open for msx leopard. As of now the msx will boot in windows by pressing one button.
My company has used macs since 84. With the dual boot system that is now available, our server,a UI, can do all we need. Helix, our database and BOM program works cross platform.

Or a periodic call to some M$ tollfree number. M$ will of course disclaim any liability if their system causes your confidential data to get broadcasted onto the internet.

I'm not sure about Vista, but IIRC, doesn't XP require that the computer be "verified" by Microsoft over the internet within 30 days of installation in most cases?
