What is MS doing? It has been a year, and they still don't have Vista SP1 out. I'd personally be really excited to see XP SP3, I'm tired of installing nearly 100 updates after the "latest" SP. While they are at it, how about DirectX10?
All the computers that I have set up Vista on that have gone out "into the wild" have crashed on their users after less than a week. This is with absolutely no hardware problems, as determined through burn-in processes.
Fortunately, MS included a repair option, so the users who are really dedicated to keeping that trash on their machines have been able to get it "working" again in some cases.
Basically, Vista works great as long as your computer isn't turned on.
Some friends of mine came by with a PC that had gotten applesauce in it just before finals week. It had been running XP, and their kids (7 - 17 yr old, they have 5 kids) were really used to it. I had an extra Ubuntu machine sitting around, and loaned it to them so that they could "get er done." After they had been using Linux for a week, I was surprised and gratified when they told me that when I fixed their computer, they also wanted Linux installed to replace the old XP machine. According to their comments, it seems that they really enjoyed being able to browse the Internet without (much) fear of malware, and they thought the interface was way easier.
