I love Vista so far. I'm the type of guy that likes all the nice aero effects and what not, so Vista works out great. Especially the dreamscene, love it!
At this time since figuring out how to get the classic view working on it I've been spending more time with the totally new boot loader and other changes made. You won't see the adwares and trojans at this point since it hasn't been out that long. But the data miners are still found as usual. 
Not next year but microsoft claimed that Vienna wont take 5 years like between XP and Vista, think there sayin about 2.5 years!

w00t!! im the odd one out. go linux!!
me too!yeah beryl!
"Blackcoob" now renamed Vienna was originally supposed to come out following XP. But Microsoft got busy on the "Longhorn" project we now see as Vista. Someone did mention 2009 as a possible release time. But Vista was also supposed to have been out last fall. In the meantime while people are seeing IE 7 work great in XP it's been seeing a number of crashes in Vista? After installing Firefox here and that made itself the default browser IE 7 now won't even run.
! Will Vista be anoher MS flop?

Wow i found just the opposite, its always freezing and having issues on my XP laptop, but my vista desktop runs IE7 just fine, i like it now that it doesnt freeze!
i think ms said 2009-2011 for the next os
it's supposed to be a completely new interface, tho
everything from 95-vista has all been fairly similar
they're promising something totally different
i voted xp, but i'm sure if i had a faster computer, i would like vista a whole lot more.

This is now being seen on a reinstallation here where Firefox knocked IE 7 out. But the option to boot up with the installation disk for the auto repair option now seen could see that corrected. The only previous problems seen where on the initial beta release of the newer IE. That caused havoc on XP. But that was in beta and not the final version.
EDIT:
There's always a reason for IE 7 seeing problems namely any changes in the advanced section of IE 7's properties. The simple reset to defaults proved that correct.

The one I am curious about lately is Solaris 10 by SUN Microsystems. The information on it seen at the link puts it above other Linux distros the way it's being promoted with it's large data base. But generally things by SUN are top shelf as a rule. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/index.jsp It's free!
But before pondering on adding a fourth installation of any OS I'm still trying to get familiar with the boot manager in Vista for triple booting XP Home and Pro along with it. Then I can shrink a few partitions for Mandriva and... ???
You will have to registar first and bookmark the download page since you will see a blank screen when going to download more then one of the segments. There are two distributions as well as dvd iso images and teh MDChecksum for those in both catagories. Once you have all segments saved to the drive you run the executable for those to assemble into a single iso image ready for burning to disk. The companion dvd image is about 1.19gb in size. But you usually have to wait until one or two segments have finished downloading due to the pull on bandwidth even with dsl here.
