I've always thought that was nice. It's like, you look at Vista and what you need, and once the shock is done, you think "WOW! no wonder these hardware guys like Dell and the others let Microsoft stay as the only choice you see on their main pages and rarely offer anything else other than the odd Linux Laptop or FreeDOS install which, sometimes doesn't even work, because they'll make more money back when people upgrade to use this crap!" > Back on topic then...
