Exactly. The advantages of Vista are much more that it's possibly negative
sides. I've been using Vista Beta for some time now, and while it's a Beta
with TONS of debug information, it has been very stable, and from an
usability point of view there are a LOT of welcome changes. Sometimes the
things that people call bells and whistles are very goos usabiliry changes.
Funny enough, people complain about thos changes in Vista but the same
people cheer about bells and whistles in Unbuntu or Osx tiger.
