I think XP will be my last Microcrap OS. I will probably move to some flavour (yes, a "u" in flavour...I'm Canadian :)) of Linux. For an excellent discussion of WHY I would never choose Vista, take a gander at this, long and techie, but worth the read (if only for the funny quotes at the end): <a href="http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html" rel="nofollow">A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection</a> I won’t EVER go to Vista.

I've lost track of how many times I've switched back and forth between IE6 and some version or another of IE7. At least two of the occasions were the result of a crash after which I had to use System Restore. Firefox is my primary browser anyway.

And I won't try and upgrade -- I'll just buy a new computer with Vista and Office 2007 preloaded. By God, I deserve a new work PC.

It is definitely different than 2003 and earlier. Toolbars especially. In Word, when you have text highlighted and want to change the size or the font, as you mouse over the font names or sizes, the document shows a preview of what it will look like at that size, in that font. Pretty cool. I'm going to a Vista/Office launch event next Wednesday. Hopefully I'll find out more about both. I do like Office 2007. It is definitely different than 2003 and earlier.
