I went out and got a Mac. I could kick myself every time I use it, because I didn't get one sooner.
Yeah, Windows 7 is actually Vista warmed over, and "Windows 8" is actually version 6.2 (Vista warmed and rewarmed?)
Nope, my home PCs are not going Microsoft once this XP box dies. I don't think that will be for a while though. And unless Mickeysoft comes up with something better, I don't see going back.
