Lame. Watch the individual videos: - a lot of MS:"this is really vista." pawn:"really?" - a lot of MS:"Here, let ME show you _randomGadget_" pawn:"huh. wow.

Lame. Watch the individual videos: - a lot of MS:"this is really vista." pawn:"really?" - a lot of MS:"Here, let ME show you _randomGadget_" pawn:"huh. wow." One thing I notice is what few actual pawn responses are given, seem to be coming from people who either a) have never touched or seen Vista aside from this 5-10 min DEMO or b) have never touched or seen a computer aside from this 5-10 min demo or a kiosk at their local mall... Again, this is DEMOED by a MS rep - these pawns don't even get to touch the box or use Vista... Vista looks pretty at first - thats about it - and that really all that is required to convince people that an OS's UI looks friendly with just an glance. The real trick is taking the OS home, putting it on your box and continuing to like it after the novelty wears off - exactly what did not happen. Instead, countless people, MS fans and haters alike, obtained Vista, installed and used Vista and then decided they did not like it. I was really excited about Vista - until I used it for about 2 weeks... Then I became tired of the excessive boot times, the sluggish performance on app load and the general bugginess of it all - on my new dual core 2.4 ghz, 2GB machine... Then I installed Vista, run XP virtually and could not be happier... I have booted Vista several times over the past couple years to update and try it again - always go back to Linux... But thats just this pawn's experience.
