Linux: The Wave of the Future
,----[ Quote ]
| One such device (I can't name it here due to contract provisions) I
| tested last week worked quite well on Vista. By simply plugging it
| in and syncing the device, I found it not only easy to use, but
| robust for what it was doing. But it was when I plugged it into my
| Linux box that the device truly realized its potential. Without
| being bogged down by bulky programs and an over-zealous OS, the
| device worked almost 30% quicker on Ubuntu, and was truly a
| pleasure to use. When I plugged it back into the Vista machine,
| I had a whole new lease on life.

"Mommy, it's broken." 2 weeks with Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| After 5 years of development, Vista still isn't ready for prime time.
| It's like taking a car without an engine and putting a new coat of
| paint on it. Sure it looks pretty, but it still doesn't work. I would
| wait at least 6 months if not a year to invest in Vista. In fact I
| personally will be putting XP on my laptop because Vista crashes too
| much for me to use everyday.
|
| This review doesn't take into account the DRM and anti-piracy
| issues that have been brought up by Vista. Without taking those
| into account I still wouldn't buy Vista.

Windows Vista running with no RAM!
,----[ Quote ]
| But as you can see from the screenshot above, Vista can function with zero
| RAM. I know, it does sound illogical, but then again… And no, it is not an
| example of my Photoshop skills at work, it is a genuine screenshot from
| Vista.
