 My contacts tell me that Win7 is actually a pretty good system.
 They tell me that it's basicly Vista, with all the protectionism
 striped out, and a few bug fixes.

 They also tell me that Vista has officially been an embarrassing
 under performer for M$ both technically, and financially.
 Apparently, M$ learned something from trying to cow tow to
 the RIAA, and other digital "rights" management folks.

 We can hope.

 I acquired a copy of Vista Business a while ago, and so far
 it won't run on any of the 7 machines I've tried to get it to
 run on.
 It'll load, but that's about it.
 It *will* run, sorta, on one of them, but only with a resolution
 of 640x480 and 16 colors. Fat lot of good THAT is !
 There's no worry for me stealing, pirating, whatever, high
 quality video on THAT machine !
 I guess DRM was a success on that one.
