Im having problems making the taskbar clear though. I have a nvidia gforce 4 graphics card. (old by todays standard) I keep getting a blue screen it might be the pc though. I have yet to test it on my laptop. Runs fast and accesing things is quicker. Vista is more confusing too. Peace, FUCK YOUR FAST BOWL MOUTH Windows 7 beat is cool.

If you don't have linux experience, you're not a real IT or PC techy. Installing linux is a breeze. I've tried out 7 distros already, all of which i have installed myself, one at a time on my old laptop just out of curiosity. Consider the fact that 1 year ago i had never used linux.

My sound card became finiky but that I feel was Creatives fault as they suck at driver support. The only other problem was Itunes taking over the DVD burners and it still does! Itunes fault. My pcs run better and boot faster thanever before! When people get a pc and download crap over and over again it messes up a PC. I clean PCs all the time that have 100+ programs that start up and cause problems! That is not MS fault. The reason other OS seem to get alot less blame is almost all of those users are computer smart and know what not to install! They take care of thier system and that makes a huge difference. I feel I am very computer knowledgable as I build and repair many pcs but still have never got Ubunto(sp?) or any other "simple installing" Linux distro to actually fully install and work? They just don't. Files end up missing and drivers don't work ext.. I guess I am so used to Windows just installing and working. So anyone that says Vista is not stable they do not know what they are talking about! Most problems are from the 64bit versions and again in almost all cases it is the hardware companies being lazy and not updating the drivers. So we should stay 32bit forever?

The reason MS wants to move to their next OS quickly is simply bad press. It had some problems at launch, and got bad press, and MS was never able to fully get the dirt off the clothes. MS even did a little experiment (the mojave experiment) which proved that people didn't have first hand hatred for vista...it was the old "my friends buddy said" type of thing. word of mouth is the most effective advertising out there.

They probably started deploying Win2k at its release in 2000 and didn't want to start another migration only one year into Win2k. Another issue with Vista, while most of WinXP's issues were resolved by SP1 and by SP2 there were almost no major issues, Vista is already at SP1 and there are still major issues with it. If things were fine with Vista, Microsoft would not be abandoning it so soon for Windows 7.

Just because he might not show up this year is no cause for alarm.

Vista had no chance of adoption rate when even Intel wouldn't install it. Companies such as Best Buy ask other partners "Are you going to use it?" and when they say "No" then it's almost over for them. The only way that Windows 7 will be what MS needs it to be is if they can get the fortune 500 companies to buy it. Thats where the real money is.

I like Maximunize better (Compiz Fusion) and the fact that when you press a key you send all apps to the side to interact with whatever you have in the desktop. It is KDEish, right? It's not just me then. I hope Steve Ballmer delivers on this being a stabler version of Vista rather than something all around new... If they can give us an OS that doesn't ask you to spend tons on new equipment and that it doesn't die whenever you are actually working with it... THEN it might be a good OS, and Vista would be officially the new ME.
