Microsoft is bleeding from Vista. With so many vice presidents jumping ship I
can only imagine what it's like for furniture in Redmond right now.

By the way, in case it matters, Vista7 is almost solely developed in India
(Bangalore IIRC, because it's cheaper). It's kind of an XP-Vista hybrid for
all I can tell. So it's like 'upgrading' from XP but not as far as PigVista
(that's too far as an 'upgrade').

Vista7 = {XP} + {Vista coat of paint} - {bloat}.

Hey, why not download a good solid Mandriva? :-D
