It's Vista Day [wow]

After ten thousand years of beta testing, at a cost of gazillions, we are now being offered Vista - which is really not very much at all. Of course, we are told that it's the most secure release of Windows ever . I certainly hope so. I'd hate to think that all that time and money was spent for nothing - or was it. And how many new releases have had a service pack announcement before the release of the OS. Just like XP SP2 made things more secure, Vista will make things more secure. Five years from now, we will [again] be hearing the same message that Microsoft is prioritizing around security. Security for the Lowest Common Denominator. While we all realise that it's become very dangerous - in some areas - of the Internet, we are being forced into areas of usability because most people out there are to stupid to own a computer. Rant ends.
