I certainly don't need Vista. In fact, several programs I rely upon for
recording and manipulating test results from various instruments are old DOS
programs and will not even install into Vista.

But I still will purchase a copy of Vista and dual-boot it, just because I
like to have the latest thing.

Vista has better security. I like Aero Glass and the UI in general. I like
the Media Center. I like the DVD Maker. I really like the Search. The
programs I use the most, Expression Web Design and Office 2007, work better
in Vista.

As for what's bad with the current OS's I'm using. Linux can be very hard to
configure new hardware and add new programs. With XP I have to run as an
administrator which is very insecure.

Given all that the number one reason I'll put the RTM version on my everyday
machine is because I like having the newest stuff. For most people I
wouldn't recommend upgrading an existing system. I would recommend that
anyone purchasing a new system seriously consider Vista.

I'm talking about the Start Search box in the Start menu. What don't you
like about it? It is one of the most powerful desktop search tools I've
used, especially if you use meta tags. It uses far less resources than
similar tools like Google, Yahoo, Windows desktop search in XP and works
better.

"Far fewer than" as "fewer" is a 'count'.
"Much less of" as "much" is an 'amount'.

Geesh, you'd think you'd know by now, eh wot?
