The only thing that got better was the GUI.
Besides that, it still sucks.

Yeah but more than half the reason to upgrade to Vista is the interface..
They did shit about their security features; the little box that asks you before you click anything isnt very helpfull.
I think that Vista actually became less user friendly than XP.
If you really want Vista, consider buying a Mac instead...After all, Microsoft copied practically all the features that was in Mac OS X.

What was the point of that? To start, it was a joke, so calm down and don't just go name calling - that's really immature. Second, Linux is an open source system that does not have a lot of compatible virus protection and firewall material, which makes hacking into it a hell of a lot easier.

only reason for me would be DX10, about 90% of the reason I would switch it DX10, other 10% is looks
I will be switching back to vista the day a DX10 game comes out

It's not really that much of an improvement over XP. The new interface is nice, but you get tired of it fast and if you really want it that bad, just get a Vista transformation pack. The internet speed boost is good but after all the trouble I went through to get settled, it wasn't really that worth it to me. Also like philywilly said, if you are into gaming I wouldn't recommend it.
All in all, just wait. It's not worth the trouble at the moment.

You could have just ignored it and moved on, but then you had to go and prove my point. You know absolutely nothing about Linux; don't try to act like you do.

What the hell? There are hundreds of Linux-compatible firewalls(eh; pf, ipf, ip). As for the anti-virus software it's pretty useless really as there are no widespread worms/virii for Linux that I know of.

Sure, Linux is open source, and it can be updated weekly because of that.
Windows isn't updated that often, is it?

You sir are definitely wrong! It doesn't have as many known viruses because of the backbone architecture of the kernel the whole principal to linux was to provide a free safe OS which it has done it doesnt get as many viruses end of. Writting a virus for linux is a ver very hard task..

Yeah the internet speed is abit of a folly really, yes it does seem alot faster maybe 3-4x faster but this is becuase they have completely fucked around with the TCP Stack instead of doing what mac did and play with the sizes and frames microsoft decided to delete some authorization and error checking... pah!

Linux updates to improve code or add something new, very rarely are there security breeches. Windows on the other hand releases update to 'patch' a known hole LOL

Personally I have a legitimate version just sitting here waiting while I triple boot Ubuntu, XP and Windows 95.
