Windows Vista is everyone's favorite tech punching bag, and not without reason. But the reviled operating system has some amazing potential and with some tweaks and a few utilities, you can do what Redmond didn't: make Vista great.

1. instead of tweaking a proprietary system to behave as someone wants, I'd prefer setting up a fully configurable environment in a FOSS OS...
2. Or, if people is happy with their XP, why change it?
First, because XP is being phased out, gradually but surely. Like it or not, your XP downgrade option won't stick around forever. Either get used to Vista or sit and wait for Windows 7, if you want to use Windows that is. This naturally doesn't apply to business environments, where the individual rarely gets a choice in what os they get to use and how it behaves.
As for setting up a foss os, will you guys give it up? Average user doesn't want foss. Further, they don't care. They want well-known names and full vendor support they can call and complain to when something's broken, not fifty forums to search in hopes of finding an answer they can understand. Why must every discussion about a windows article always have to set you guys off about foss? Give it a rest.
