Except that the "eccentric aunt" doesn't nag me, doesn't restrict my activities, keeps everything in her house in good working order, doesn't break my stuff and makes everything easy to find and use.
We should all be so lucky.
I installed Vista after delaying as long as possible and turned off the UAC and dumped the Aero themes and it works just fine. I have yet had to restart the machine since I got it and I run Visual Studio, Sql Server, internet, 2 email processes, Visio, Word, Excel, a zip program, and a terminal service tool while on a network all at the same time every day.
