Windows "In the world of operating systems, Microsoft Windows Vista is just a baby. It's just now toddling along on new systems being sold throughout the U.S. And, like a small child being dropped by the stork to new parents, it's available to older desktop PCs via Microsoft's download-to-buy program. Giving early adopters such easy, unfettered access to the somewhat untested OS was a bold move by Microsoft. The company had to know that people like those who work at PC Magazine would be among the first to test-drive this new installation option."

As I said in another comment a while back, I've used every major beta release of Vista (Longhorn). Most of what I've said is my opinion. I feel that it is true given my experience of the five gruelling years of Vista development and the final product compared with as many years as I have managed to gain of overall computer experience on different Operating Systems and other companies and organisation's accomplishments.

Having moved off of Windows, I have come to genuinely know how superior OS X and Linux is to Windows, Vista included.

You can call that trolling, but at the end of the day, it's a) my opinion based on b) solid experience of Vista, and it's alternatives.

"Having moved off of Windows, I have come to genuinely know how superior OS X and Linux is to Windows, Vista included."

I went completely McSoft `WinTrash` free in October of 2003 on my personal machines. My primary platforms are OS X and Linux and they both are rock solid and stable. My productivity rocketed into the stratosphere since I don't have jack around with anti-virus, reboots, spy-ware and associated crapware.

I know it probably peeves off the McSofties but oh well ... the global press and opinion mirrors what we've been saying all along. An honest opinion is not trolling.
