Simon & Olavi are correct. I downloaded the RC-1 version, just to check it out. It took 45 minutes to setup. Then you have to add your
3rd party software and hope it will work with vista. If not, you have to buy more, or update as soon as it's available. RC-! failed to find my Linksys
NIC card and my SB sound board. Two major players not supported yet. Going to be a lot of companies that will have to replace older hardware to run vista. So, yes it will take more people to install and maintain vista, not to mention the security team trying to keep hackers out. I will stick to Linux, stable, AND secure.
