Personally speaking, I thought M$ would have named Longhorn as Windows HAL after 2001: A Space Odyssey Remember THIS film?

1. Windows Vista isn't even RTM and probably won't be until sometimes in 2006.

patches

M$ is working so hard to do without the needs for patches. With billions of codes written into this next generation of Windows, anything is liable to happen once the general audience get a hold of it.

upgrades

M$ hasn't formulated Vista upgrade path. The other issue can very well be that your PC may not be suitable for it.

security enhancements on this new winner

How can it be a winner when it hasn't been RTMed and we don't even have it.

With the billions of codes, I bet the hackers are sharpening their swords waiting to jab holes in the system. I only wish they would field test their software, that possibly would correct the gaping holes, their eager to market and get the buck mentality, that exist with the monopoly. But then again linux is no competition for them now, Only when someone can take the buck away from them will they field test their software. I worked for a company that had ibm write software for them, before the system came on line, months of tests that involved correcting, rewriting, adjusting and addons before the system went on line, even then the system had to be fine tuned with further adjustments. For m$, this is not necessary, the buying public will point out holes and lapses as well as those techies that work for computer publications.

Vista reminds me of the Vista cruiser on "That 70's show". Either way they will have to show me a pretty drastic bunch of improvements and new stuff to get me to upgrade from XP.
