| Testers told ChangeWave that Vista's 50 million lines of code
| expressed itself as too big, too slow, too memory-intensive and too
| buggy.
|
| Others complain that the behemoth munches laptop batteries like a fat
| man tossing back popcorn at X-Men 3... All those flashy new graphics,
| you know. This threatens to roll back all the hard-fought savings that
| have been designed into the new power-stingy CPUs.

|

| circular, make Windows Vista way too complicated.

| Oh, Vista will ship. But will it float?
