i don't know why everyone is getting so uptight about .net. i mean, it's new technology, so it'll probably have many flaws until at least two or three years of upgrading, and like xp, vista should have a classic option. yes, speech technology may advance, but with the new accessibility engine people are having to learn from scratch again, not to mention also having to switch to .net which is already not accessible.
