I would like to take this moment to set the record straight about Windows Vista. This is a sour spot for Microsoft because all you hear about is the bad. Granted there are a few hardware, software and driver issues, but once you get past them, Vista is quite good. I built a top of the line computer a few years back, and of course, it is no longer up to par. When Vista was available, I installed it on this computer and was disappointed. More recently, I purchased a new desktop, and laptop, both of which run Vista, and with a new look at it, I think my judgment was premature. With SP1 out now, Vista is much better and more reliable. Some will say Vista is more reliable than XP, and I think that argument can be made. One thing is for sure, Vista is vastly more secure than its predecessors are. I do not think Vista is a substitute for Mac OS X, but for the average user it is not bad. I am tired of people hounding on Vista give it a chance. With time, many will be using it and they will find that Vista actually did deliver a better user experience, more reliability and improved security.

Update: the truth about vista can be found at the mojave experiment website.

I went the the theater last weekend and saw the new Indiana Jones movie. Have to say it was excellent until the last 5 min. (That is besides the point) I didn’t notice but apparently Paramount clipped audio from the movie to discourage pirating it. “What the heck” I am just trying to legitimately watch a movie and this is how I am repaid? I made the comment before and I will make it again… TOO MUCH COPYRIGHT!
