Blog Comment Startup time of Vista, fresh start or from "Hibernation" is VERY fast (way faster than any (regular) Linux distribution, and I always know the latest Ubuntu and OpenSuSE releases). That said, I'm quite happy with Vista!

Blog Comment In reply to the few above that talk of only being able to play games on Windows. Sure, you won't be able to find many popular games out there being supported by game designers, but the ones you do find are GEMS.

Blog Comment OneNote is a great piece of software. Tablet PCs.well, it's true that MS has the best tablet tech (if you avert your eyes from the way Apple's going with the iPhone/iTouch, and avert them even harder from the Surface).

Blog Comment I don't much like Evolution, I have to say. It works, but it's a bit flakey (or at least, the version I was running under 7.04 was). The password authentication box pops up but won't accept input for a moment or two, and a few times the package has...
