Wrong. 20 million dupes do not make it anything but an
experiment.

Only an idiot would run anything important on Vista at this
time. After a service pack or two, it will be "possibly" as
viable as XP, just more bloated, less efficient, more
crippling of the system.

It's just a foolish OS to use.

I don't need to read your take on Vista, as written above
the qualification was "serious system use" vs "toy".
If you run it, you have a toy.

The rest was not worth repeating.
