Windows "Security is the lens through which I always view products like Windows Vista, and in that view it looks good. But there is a bigger picture with Vista for the industry: It's really, really different from previous versions. At many levels it requires a different approach." The Inq took a look at Vista RTM, and they find: "Suffice to say we're impressed. Vista has come a significantly long way since the RC2 build. It's polished, speedy, and looks good on the eye."

That's somewhat silly. Perhaps someone new to Linux, who is using Linux to impress their friends, would say that, but nobody else (well, I guess Windows apologists would say that too).

When I list the myriad reasons I think Linux is superior to Windows, themes are never a consideration. It's the same with most Linux users. To say otherwise is sheer buffoonery.

"themes are never a consideration"

I feel a little embarrassed at this, but I just bought a x800pro, £77 off ebay but so my windows would wobble lol.AIGLX/Beyrl and I have spent 2 days spinning a white cube :sob:

I do think people here are underestimating the draw of aero, I think the Media center stuff is interesting, but I think Microsoft are overestimating the draw it has. It will make a new PC *look* a new PC. I think its tough to say whether it adds any *real* productive value, over say...a large monitor, but it is new.
