The Linux Foundation has posted the second half of its long and thorough interview with Linux founder Linus Torvalds, part of the Foundation's 'open voices' podcast. While the first part of the interview focused on the Linux development community, this time Torvalds sounds off on everything from patents and innovation to the future of Linux. According to Torvalds the reason Linux hasn't taken off is that most people are happy with the way things are. "If you act differently from Windows, even if you act in some ways better, it doesn't matter; better is worse if it's different." Torvalds also attributes much of the frustration with Windows Vista to this same idea. In other words, it's not that Vista is worse than XP, but it's different and that causes distress among users.

Alright, I assume most people reading this blog have some sort of nack for modiying or changing OS settings. In vista it’s a piece of cake to disable the UAC. So if you don’t like it don't run it. It’s that simple. Go to the Control Panel! I disabled it from day one.

I have been running Vista since it was RTM'ed and I have had minimal problems. Any problems I have had were due to poor drivers from the vendor side.
The reality is that the fresh install of Vista , Microsoft Drivers worked initially better in then any of the Vendors. This in my opinion says a lot on how Microsoft tried to cover most Drivers. They knew that the Vendors would take time to catch up. Prime Example Sigmatel, now IDT.
If you do have issues make sure you get the very important HotFixes. I dont even need SP1 at this point.
I am now running Vista Ultimate 64 and it screams, also runs all of my games.
