   Yes.  Vista is the new WinME.  Unfortunately I think that it will get    
   widely adopted.  There is just enough for the average user to want it.    
   DX10 for the gamer, eye candy for the noob.  Improved security for the    
   business.  I think widespread adoption will make XP obsolete quickly, I    
   just hope a few people will jump ship to Ubuntu or any other distro for    
   that matter.
