Vista is the future in operating systems -- as Microsoft
apparently sees things, anyway. Presumably it is a
competitor for a number of Linux distributions, among them
RedHat, Ubuntu, SuSE, and of course Gentoo.
The intent of Linux -- or, more precisely, some of its
users -- is presumably to spread the Linux meme as far as
it can, or, if one prefers, to have Linux and derivatives
of Linux (distributions) installed on as many desktops,
servers, and devices as possible. To that end, Vista
is a resource competitor, as it will "want" to also be
installed on as many devices as possible -- furthering
Microsoft's bottom line. (Presumably this includes an
Embedded Edition, at some point. I'd have to look.)
If there's a major problem here, I for one don't see it.

Conventional memory has to be one of the most UNconventional
architectures I've seen in a computer system.
