| Complaining about Windows Vista is a national past time on Internet
| forums these days. Windows Vista "costs too much," "has onerous
| product activation," "requires too much hardware," etc. These
| complaints are often followed up by a very simple boast: "I'm just
| going to switch to Linux (or Mac)."

Well they would say that, wouldn't they? I mean they are obviously just
a bunch of FOSS fanatics that pour scorn on Microsoft products at every
chance they get, right?
Oh wait ... this is [H]ardOCP ... bastion of overclockers and *Windows*
gamers, a veritable stronghold of Windows devotees.
Not any more, apparently.
You can almost *hear* the ground crumbling away under Microsoft.
Mark my words - "Vista is the best thing to ever happen ... to Linux".
