Hell, your hours are numbered. I might even go so far as to say your minutes are numbered.
I’m in the process of backing up my data. Once I’m through, it’s formatting time for my C drive, and I’m going to do a fresh install of XP to replace the one I’ve got now (with 9873 mysteriously missing DLLs). To hell with Vista. What a shitty OS. I’m looking forward to having all of my hardware and software function properly again.
FINALLY!

Amen. I like the Aero interface but they killed enough functionality from a business perspective, and made things too crappy from an end user perspective, that I said goodbye long ago. However it seems to’ve left it’s mark as XP on my notebook has never been the same. Random 5-10 sec lag on bootup where nothing happens. Keeps disabling my internal NIC even thou I tell it to always be active…. Vista hurt it :(

The Aero theme was the only thing even remotely better about Vista that I noticed… and even that doesn’t really count, because it slowed my computer down so much that I had to turn it off. What a mess.

just give Linux a try .. well .. It depends on what you intend to do with your comp of course, but after installing Ubuntu I seldom go back to windows (dual boot ftw!).
With Beryl, it looks WAY nicer than aero (and, arguably, OSX) , you can live more or less free of viruses, and somehow, the fact that I don’t have one piece of cracked software on my comp feels .. I don’t know how to put it … *nice* (lame word … but hey .. I’m french … i’m not supposed to understand, let alone be able to write, in english).
Speaking of OS-X … It’s as they say in the apple’s ads : it’s for people too stupid to read captions or differentiate between left and right ( … mouse buttons).
Only reason I still have dual boot is that I like to play Oblivion. All the rest, from movie editing to checking video blogsites because they were advert .. aeh … criticized in the NY Times can be achieved as easily as in MS-Windows.
Anyway nice blog …

I’m dual-booting XP and Ubuntu now. Glad Vista is gone, it was awful. The only reason I don’t switch completely over to Linux is my husband. He uses a lot of audio software that isn’t be compatible. Plus, he isn’t as good with computers in general, so he’d be a bit lost.
I never did like OSX.
