OT: Vista users and wannabe's

[housecall55 at yahoo.com (Cris Carpenter)]

It should come as no surprise that Dell's high-end gaming PC comes only with XP.
   
  A friend went down to the local Vista launch to check out the new Office 2007. The woman from MS putting on the presentation had a new laptop running Vista. All she had open was PowerPoint and Outlook, and the computer kept freezing up during the presentation. My friend said you could hear an audible groan from the audience.

Umm, here, allow me to back up Peter with a visual:

Oh, and for those curious, I run XP.  Vista is simply not ready for 
prime time.
