If Bill Gates had a dollar for every OS that crashes..... Oh wait he does :-)

As for vista... I'll buy it and so will most of you.... It's marketing... You want bells and whistles.. you buy M$.... You want a reliable system you buy *nx... Most users stick with what they know...

Your eylids are getting heavey... Your are getting sleepy..... You will buy vista... Yes Mr. Gates... Right away sir... hahaha.... :-)

Sure I'll "buy" vista. When they discontinue support for XP and the hackers have a "fix" so to speak for the activation problem.

I believe I still have a pair of DEC-Alphas from about 1997 as well as an old SUNSparc 5 laying around storage.
