And it lights up!
And it's so modern, stylish and what everybody obviously wants.

The most amusing thing about Vista, is that the only thing that worked fine in XP, namely the ability that if you pressed Crtl+Alt+Del, you _would_ get the window with the task-manager / shut off buttons, even if the system was falling apart. Vista replaces that with a custom non-standard gui screen so heavy that crashes if a program is hoarding the processor, hence making it useless.

Also, Office 2007 is actually way different from Office 2003 in many ways. If anything, the closest thing to Office 2003 nowadays is erm, OpenOffice.

Thing is, my experience with the latter OSX aren't really any better than Vista.
I'll buy a Air when Steve decides to swap OSX for BeOS.

EDIT: On a side-note, most of the "resource hogging" of vista is part of a caching strategy. It's actually good, since it spares disc usage (and allows for readyboost technology, etc). The problem is that Vista doesn't let us control it in any significant way, so we just have to look at the memory go to whatever _it_ thinks is important.
