    The admin rights on demand actually sounds like Linux, where only the root can make changes to the system whereas any users can run applications. It's more like protection against ourselves (and more importantly, our idiotic families and friends).

    When exactly is Vista supposed to be released retail?
    As I've got 3 PC's and a Laptop on the way, I think I can spare a PC to try out the new OS. As it is, I'm already thinking of sacrificing a windows machine to run MAC OS X on it.

    Vista seems like a great alternative than trying to find mac compatable software, for my PC.

    OSX and pics of Bill Gates. I didn't think it funny though.

    Apple didn't even come up with 'windows' first. They stole it from Xerox.

    It'll make Mac users angry for sure.

    They copied OSX so bad that I thought it was OSX.

    Maybe I should've made that more clear to begin with but I really thought it was obvious enough.

    5. Better updates: Vista does away with using Internet Explorer to access Windows Update, instead utilizing a new application to handle the chore of keeping your system patched and up-to-date. The result is quicker response and a more tightly streamlined process. The update-tracking mechanism, for instance, is much quicker to display information about your installation. And now key components, such as the Windows Defender antispyware module, get their updates through this central point. Like other housekeeping features, a better Windows Update isn't a gee-whiz upgrade, but it should make it easier--and more pleasant--to keep your PC secure.
    I'm looking forward to this, xp should have had it a longgggg time ago.
