What with all the embedded DRM and questionable compatibilities, I'm not gonna touch it for a while. May be able to get it cheap through my MS corporate whore / friend, if I want it. But I'd rather play with Linux than buy a new Windows.

I read about that. It worries me, since unlike BD and HDDVD, this DRM can theoretically be updated by patches.

Yeah, some people were saying that the cost of buying the ultimate edition is so close to the cost of a mac mini that you may as well just stick with XP on the old PC and get yourself a shiny new OSX box on the side.
Most of us that are even daring to consider Vista are either getting hookups through incredible discounts, or are arr ARR arrrr.

Microsoft doesn't do shadows very well, no. http://www.webthang.co.uk/Tuts/tuts_css/css3/css3.asp (requires IE in order to fully "appreciate" the effect)

I install fonts the old hardcore manual way, of dragging and dropping them into the C:\windows\fonts\ folder. Force of habit.
Man, the third party Compaq power management tool on my laptop doesn't even give me the option of Sleep.
