and they said that linux sucked....

I gave up on giving so much physical and mental energy to the vista betas...
If something REALLY improves then I will install another one....

the problem is that they are just removing bugs, while vista needs more
changes than that...
ahh welll the world is not perfect.

It is interesting to see what will happen to the computer world now that MS
will not have a winning OS as its flagship.. perhaps other OS will get a
chance...
Like MACOSX.. apple is doing some good moves now...

as for linux.. alas.. there is still not a good enough distro that can
handle desktop everyday use by masses.... Its fully capable though.. if you
think that MacOSX is based on unix too (BSD).. they just added a very good
GUI...

talking about good GUI.. Vista is NOT!

Hundreds of things, perhaps even thousands of things. Beta 2 is pretty
ancient now, the newer builds are a lot better, hang in there. 8-)

Your headaches will be increased, but the build number will change. They
have elected to give up on a number of features and bugs, but they will try
to make a pretty retail RTM box. The OEM purchasers will be screwed when it
comes to repairing serious problems because they will not access Startup
Repair.

Errr....

Here's what *I* get a kick out of...

No one in the GPL arena is suing apple for stealing and selling OSx code...

and if you think that OSx has a "good GUI" then you're obviously a mac fan,
because it looks HORRIBLE, and every time I see something similar in Vista I
cringe because they are trying to give the "masses" something that,
ultimately, people will say "God that looks horrible"

The Mac OSX interface not that bad, but too much eye candy. Some eye candy
in Vista, I know, but look at the Time Machine feature of the upcoming
Leopard. Does it need to be that fancy (with the starfield...looks sort of
like Flip 3D of Vista)? Look at Tiger now; switching users...does it
absolutely need to rotate a 3D cube? I know its cool. I know that XP's user
switching is choppy and gives you black screens for brief moments. But a 3D
cube? A fade transition or some other sort would be fine. It's Apple acting
like Apple again.

Having watched the Apple WWDC06 keynote, I laugh too. After bashing MS for
copycatting, Steve J. boldly shows off a new feature for Spotlight coming up
in Leopard that allows the user to run a program from the search bar. No
doubt MS will copy this for Vista, eh? And then a VP showed off Time
Machine which will do something amazingly like what VSS provides for with
Previous Versions. No doubt MS will copy that one too, eh?
