Quote - For me (and a whole lot of other people outside of US) Vista is a no-no as long as I wish to be the one and only owner of my computer. And the only one able to use my credit card, for example. Vista still has some risky security holes, especially for people not interested in security aspects (a virus scanner and a personal firewall may help, but is not enough to make a Windows PC save).

Beside of Poser I havn't any use of Windows (maybe because I don't do gaming). Linux runs mutch faster and smother with the same machine here. Even with a 3D desktop with some bells and wistles (another thing nobody really needs - better driver support is mutch more important for any OS).

Very well said!
