Microsoft VISTA

[PvK]

Vista/Longhorn seems highly evil to me. M$ intends to continue leveraging its monopoly to get people subscribing and paying them regularly for the priviledge of using their latest bloatware, which in turn will do its best to deny them the right to copy data freely and privately.

XP is already worse than bad enough for my tastes.

I use Win98SE at home because I already have licenses for it, it doesn't insist I register or activate it nor monitor my hardware changes to see if it should force me to re-activate it. I find Win98SE to be clean and lightweight and stable (when I control the machine, as opposed to what can happen from installing tons of crap and stuff from the web, etc), and it runs practically every program I really want.

I like Win2K Client too and also use it. Win2003 Client I find far less annoying than XP.

I'm liking my Linux machines more and more, though.
