True....although do you really want to insult virii like that? I got a laptop with Vista on it a couple of months ago; I needed a portable, it was a version closeout and on sale, and I didn't want to let the V near my main box or rendergarden. More accurate to say its a hacked down XP with a sexy desktop that eats around 30% of your processor and GPU resources with bells and whistles. And the DRM schemes are even more intrusive that advertised... I didn't get stable video playback until I put AnyDVD on the puppy. I did like that little bit about the real reason why they rigged Vista to not run in a virtual machine....apparently it totally disables all the DRM crapola, and M$ decided it would rather be chummy with the RIAA/MPAA Gestapo than the sys admins and personal users. Oooops. Hm. If the CS3 versions are XP compatible, I may have to look at stepped upgrading, if the features warrant it.....
