Windows Vista
I keep reading of those who find Vista to be less than they expected. I would be interested in reading comment from those who think Windows Vista is better than XP and why. The reason that I ask is that I can not accept that 5 years of Microsoft-time is going to produce something that is less than it was. My guess is that 64 bit applications will redefine the space an application can use allowing for a new kind of application that lives more in memory than on devices - but this is a structural change and probably more of a catchup by Windows with Linux than the other way around. 64bit versions of Linux have been around for years, but there are are only so many that can afford enough memory to address such vast amounts but what it can do for server applications is something else.
When 64bit games appear and the Vista versions start to hum, I suspect it will give the X-Box a run for its money.
