Windows Vista RSoD! It looks a lot more threatening than the BSoD that we have now.

If you understand where most of that comes from, I dont know why you are defending windows. I for one have never used a mac (that wasnt as old as my grandpa,that is) so I am not defending it. I am just saying windows is full of viruses and other crap.

Umm, it was removed a while ago. It was only for bootup errors, which are a lot more rare - but also a lot more fatal, hence the redness. Now it's the same thing, minus the red coloration.

Mac OS X suffers a kernel panic instead (as does anything else unix-like, i.e. linux). However, they're very rare. Heck, BSODs in Windows are fairly rare with XP (since a single application can't bring down the system like in 9x).

Yeah, I'm on XP, and that's happend, like, twice. But when I had 98, I got BSoDs all the time.

There's no way I'm buying this thing. I use Windows 2000, even though I own a copy of XP. I just like it more. That, and Windows sucks.


What happened to Linux?

My family has only one computer and if I had the choice, It'd run on Linux. But for the family's usage Windows is the best choice with being compatible with most everything. I for one and looking forawrd to palying Oblivion on DirectX 10. We'll be gettign Vista for free since my mom's office is getting an unlimited licence.

Windows XP is great, but this is going to be awesome.

I'm looking forward to it.

IMHO, I believe it's going to just look nice. On the inside it's going to be a total mess, and soon the numerous patches and critical security updates start pouring in. Just like with XP...
