I would like to chime in with the /veto for Vista.

I have a copy on one of my machines. It is interesting but it has so many problems with gaming and drivers. Let alone the fact that it bothers you every 10 seconds with can I do this? can I do this? Useless.

Plus, the aero interface. What the hell is that? Wow, a slideshow of my windows!

I would rather take Beryl over Aero ANY day.

Oh, and thanks for the you NEED Vista to run DirectX 10.

Yeah, right.
