I don't necessarily disagree with you about Vista being a joke, I've read plenty of documentation similar to this post. However I really disagree about Apple's being dominate in the future.
I've been told for some time that Apple's are not practical and that they're a marketing scheme. However it took me owning one (or two) to actually realize this. As far as being something that average person can operate/troubleshoot...I just don't see it.
I do, however, thoroughly agree with you about Leopard going to much better than Vista. OS X is a solid operating system, no one can deny that.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in my humble opinion, OS X not being able to run on x86 architectures (legally) will hold it back from being more successful than Windows in the long run.
I do have to admit, though, that I'm not as knowledgable about universal binaries as I'd like to be and that with Apple's switch from PowerPC to Intel processors, I really don't know what's to come...just my thoughts.

Tyler -- Isn't the intel Duo an x86 architecture?
Anyway, from what I've heard about Vista, it looks like it's going to be another Windows ME (The middle part of Windows CE-ME-NT).
However, I think a lot of businesses will hold off on switching away from Windows in hopes that it will eventually get better. GSW, for instance, has several applications and web pages (ASP .NET, w00!) that will only run on Windoze.
I think it will keep people from buying the new product, but people are so rooted in their Microsoft ways that it's nearly impossible to switch.
Also, I just want to say again that I *much* prefered the old theme. This one is just so... cookie-cutter.

See...I'm still kinda second-rate.

I'm with Tim....This will be the next ME. I downloaded the build 5308 32bit dvd and installed on my loaner pc. Microsoft's attempt to recreate unix limited accounts is an absolute pain in the ass. I had a buddy of mine who managed to install Warcraft on his copy...I laughed so hard I was in tears... It took him about two hours to get around all the security messages and install lockups. He finally got it installed and it worked. I was amazed. Warcraft dedication at its finest. Anyway, as much as I rag macintosh users, maybe it is time for me to give it a chance. Or maybe I'll just go Ubuntu and use vmware for windows. :)
