I'm still tossing up whether to take an interest in Vista or not. No doubt
there will be money to make with people making the change, but I'm not sure
I'm all that fussed with having to deal with it. 

Hopefully it will break enough things to make the transition to linux look
better for some.

My biggest hope was that it might actually be hard to steal, but I had a
feeling that wouldn't be the case. I don't really think MS minds a bit of
piracy to help establish a new OS...

Did anyone actually buy windows 3.1 out there?
