Who the hell reads these "professional" reviews? And why aren't people able to make their own opinion? It must be a dream-job (for some at least), get paid for playing prohpet and writing shit about other's (yet unfinished) products. Personally, I bought my laptop a few years ago with XP preinstalled and Vista CDs alongside. I installed Vista out of curiosity, mostly because people almost unanimously said it was crap, and, wouldn't you believe it, I liked it. I got a rock-solid, capable OS that was way ahead of the clunkiness that I remembered from the XP days and way better than crappines I was starting to experience with Linux. So a message to all you schadenfreude-review writers: go to f*ing hell.
