Vista is all glit’s, and that glit’s sucks up cpu cycles when they could be used for something productive. MS has a habit of writing bloated code, and slowing down even very powerful machines.
Why dosen’t MS write a fast cappable OPSYS and sell the Glit’s seperatly for those who want it.
If the software I used would run on Linux I’d swap over permanently. Unfortunatly several pieces of software I own have no direct aternative written for Linux, like Motion Builder.
Not to mention how hard it is to get good drivers for laptops...
I use some HAM software that is Windoze-centric.
I bught a cheap Gateway for use in the RV and upgraded from Vista to XP Pro - it took a whle to sort out all the driver issues. I have used LINUX in the past & still use it to rescue or crack Windows boxs.
I think the next PC/laptop will likely be a MAC.
