If Vista had quality, there
If Vista had quality, there would be no need for a downgrade to XP option...Microsoft should have stuck to perfecting XP VS the Vista route. Of course, it is not about offering customers quality, in so-much as it is about the quest for my hard earned dollar. To bad they could not give me what they made me think I'm paying for, as oposed to selling me a "bill of goods" that require endless Hot Fixes, Security Patches, and Service Packs.

Linux is starting to look
Linux is starting to look better every day. I keep hopping that Microsoft will get a clue as to what the "consumer" wants however it doesn't look like that is going to happen. As far as the articles statement about 1GB of RAM don't get your hopes up since there are companies loading Vista on machines with 512MB of RAM. Vista takes for every to boot with that little memory.I would like to recommend to everyone.
Search-and-destroy Antispyware is an excellent scanner that I would like to recommend to everyone. I simply love it. In the past I have tried many different types of scans. Some of them were free and others cost quite a bit of money but they all seem to pick up the same types of bugs. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is less expensive than most and it will clean your computer and keep it working great just like the more costly scanners.
