I am not a Vista user and I will not say what you should or should not use but it occurs to me that an O/S, any O/S for that matter, is only there to convey instructions from your applications to your PC. In other words, the apps are important and the O/S is just there to make sure that nothing prevents the application from carrying out its legitimate task.

I think that for marketing purposes MS has made the O/S, i.e. latest version of windows, all important in most peoples minds when in fact it is a “means to and end”, not the “be all and end all”.

Saying all that, we have to accept that we now live in a world dominated by adverts, marketing and hype it’s just a pity that things like “facts” and “truth” gets lost along the way.
