Bill Gates is a genius! "Let's invent a new disk image format, when plenty of great and available formats already exist to back up an operating system not worthy of a backup anyway." Vista is the new ME. Best avoided. There will be another operating system coming along, just like XP did.
My copy of Vista sits harmlessly on a shelf, collecting dust: the only job it seems to be able to do well, unless you consider the requirement to own a top gaming graphics board just to run the bare operating system a "feature" you can't live without.
If they ported SH4 to Linux, Windows would become a backup hobby system. Linux is far from perfect, but at least it's not controlled by a company who has forgotten what an operating system is.
