@ RE That Screenshot

Even if the screenshot is a mock-up (and i dont think it is), the problem it describes is true, i have experienced it myself up until i applied the hotfix. Yes i was one of the lucky ones where the fix worked.

I also had the unzip problem, but only using the MS extract to.. winzip and winrar etc were fine

it took in eccess of 3 hours to unzip an archive that winrar/winzip could decompress in 20seconds

Vista has many other issues. eg when online gamig using wireless every 60 seconds vista polls for new networks causing 1-2 seconds of lag, you cant disable this and makes gaming unbearable

Network bandwidth suffers when you play MP's - and as most games have MP3 as background music, you find your lagging all the time with even bigger lagg at the 60 second marker!!! see above

Now i wish (i really do) that i could install and run my favourite games in Linux, you wouldnt see my arse for dust.

I had gone back to XP after all the issues with Vista, but when RC-SP1 came out i thought i would try again.

It's useless, and as usual you fanboy's cant see or at least cant admit it; grow some cahones tbh!

Chaos Theory....

Well, could this be a chaos theory-esque development in Linux's favour?

I mean business knows the reliability and stability of Linux and know the pedigree of the base OS, hell business was built on Unix.

The problem business has these days is they dont remember the 'old days' when people wrote their own systems and applications... yes i know thats not feasable these days, but, what is possible is to achieve everything you need to on a linux desktop, (at least for business, home users will still struggle as far as common shop bought software and games are concerned). The first three raindrops to hit this pond,(dell, lenovo, acer) will start to see the result of their ripples all over the place, the question: will we soon see waves?

I also believe if the business user base of Linux users increases then Microsoft will have to conform to more open standards for filetypes, when their customers say "hey i just emailed this important client my Visio drawing and they cant open it" standardisation will happen i have no doubt.
