No subject

but that's just "make-up".  I'm going to make a vmware machine with it so
I'll see for myself.  Since it will be on the same machine (mac) as my WinXP
vm (which I do use a lot), I'll be able to compare them easily.

Vista was a near daily frustration, either I've gotten used to the pain or
its gotten a little less painful. Probably both. I still don't like Vista. I
have to deal with it though. So I hope Win7 is better, a lot better, because
windows a part of my job.

As an aside, I use Vista, WinXP, and Mac OSX a lot. Ubuntu holds itws own
againts all of them. I've read some people think Win7 is a linux killer
(speaking of the netbook market). I don't buy that at all.
