Someone claims to have found Vista's release date by using a clever trick. "How do I know? Well, Microsoft EMEA has put up a website where you can guess the launch date for Windows Vista. After you submit a date, it plays a hint video. There’s actually a bunch of videos, some of which are quite funny. Anyway, here comes the interesting part: If you take a look at the page source, the videos are hosted on a Microsoft server in Switzerland. And depending on your guess, they are being loaded either from a subdirectory /early/ or another one named /late/. By simple iteration I quickly found that 'early' ends Nov 30th while 'late' starts Dec 1st. So either one of these will be the launch date. If this all is not a dirty little trick from the webmaster, of course..."

Anyways... while we are at it. This is what happened when one of my drives in the RAID was dying.

Even though I am a windows user, and have no major complaints for XP, I am also ready to jump ship for Mac OS when the smaller MacBook Pro's come out. But then again.. game support.
By the time Vista actually comes out (Me thinks overnight between Nov and Dec) I'm not to sure i'll still be impressed by it compared to Mac OS X, although it will still be worth upgrading my older pc's to it just for the security and features sake.
