Vista is primarily concerned with controlling the ownership of content.
There is no significant improvement in functionality. M$ has formed an
unholy alliance with various other groups to this end. In Australia this

Now who's not living in the real world?
What software that anyone uses is included in the box?
Paint? Wordpad? Internet Explorer? MS Mail (was Outlook Express)?
I've been playing with Beryl today - a 3D accelerated window manager
for Linux.
Now it's prettier than Windows too, and the prettiness is completely
customisable. I'm not interested in all the fancy transitions and
stuff but I'm excited that I can now have Mac Expose like
functionality on Linux.

If Apple doesn't release a small notebook soon I just might go back to
