I'm gonna stick with xp/kubuntu dualboot for a long time i guess, I don't see anything special in Vista really, I got the beta2 install cd from a lan event I attended a while ago but I haven't even touched the dvd case it was given in.

There's nothing that amazing about vista, unless you like the processor and video card killing graphics, I'd recommend any GNU system over such a thing (or even XP)

Xgl? Smile

I'll stick to Windows XP until I finally pull myself together to switch to Linux.

I still have not really switched to linux for my pc, just out of lazyness...
but I won't get vista either, due to the same lazyness Wink
But I usually lack behind, windowswise anyway... Whenever people start using windows X, I'm usually still at windows X-1...
