Re: OT: VISTA
End of this year I may buy a new computer, leaning towards yes at the moment. I'm doing well these days what with a new job along with my benefits. I expect it'll have Vista, though I'll keep an eye on it beforehand. I'm a bit anxious actually as I hear horror stories of new computers people buy. My current one doesn't have such problems partly I think because the son of someone my mother knows custom built it. I have an Acer at work which showed me for once what a bad computer can be like.
I wouldn't be staying up all night just to be the first to buy stuff for 3 reasons, off the top of my head.
1. Why spend top dollar when with a bit of restraint and patience you can get it when the cost goes down after the initial bluster.
2. It's just a OS. I will not die if I don't have it, and I am opposed to wasting effort/making more of something beyond realistic standards. Same goes for why I do not go to midnight screenings of movies (but then I hardly bother with cinemas anyway)
3. I control my life. I decide what is important, not get carried away by bluster and hype.
