Anyone even considering Vista, read this.

"Windows Vista includes an extensive reworking of core OS elements in order to
provide content protection for so-called "premium content", typically HD data
from Blu-Ray and HD-DVD sources. Providing this protection incurs
considerable costs in terms of system performance, system stability, technical
support overhead, and hardware and software cost. These issues affect not
only users of Vista but the entire PC industry, since the effects of the
protection measures extend to cover all hardware and software that will ever
come into contact with Vista, even if it's not used directly with Vista (for
example hardware in a Macintosh computer or on a Linux server)."
Windows Vista is a virus! An intellectual cancer!
I will never touch it with someone else's 10 foot pole!
Well, according to the article, even the above summary, you don't need
to for it to wright its evil.
