I've said this before, but Vista seems to be all about downgrading and
inhibiting the users, whilst upgrading and empowering Microsoft's
control of those users. There seems to be little in there that is of any
actual benefit to those it *should* benefit, and even those features
that do (on paper) seem to offer something better than XP (e.g.
ReadyBoost) don't seem to work out to be very beneficial in practice.
Those unfortunate enough to downgrade to Vista, seem to have paid an
awful lot of money for nothing but the rather dubious "privilege" of
being fleeced by Microsoft ... yet again.
