Info-Mac Digest V9 #184
The bottom line is that home PC's at this stage really should be much more like appliances where you turn them on, do your thing, and then turn them off, like a microwave oven, stereo, or even a game console. If you want a PC appliance, look into the Mac. That's still not nearly appliance-like -- uses pretty much

Spamhaus Statement on the Tiscali problem
I myself have a Vista 128 by OCEAN Microsystems. It is a MOST-based drive, and does what an optical drive should do. I have not been able to use the drive as a boot device, however, and must be careful to turn it on after turning on the Mac, or I end up having problems (I have a Mac IIci-based system running 7.0).

Microsoft throws in the towel on Vista
Why switch to Vista? This is the bigger question. If all you are getting is better eye candy, better video games, and all of this requires nearly 4 times the RAM, ROM, and hard drive space, why upgrade from XP. As I said above, there are many corporations who are quite happy with Windows 2000, almost 7 years after

Many of those XP support contracts are about to expire, and these companies are prepared to switch to Linux on as many as 2/3rds of their workstations and to wave service contracts on the remainder.

You seem very sure they should scrap the bulk of the Windows codebase, but I do not see why that is. Perhaps you explained this earlier in the thread and I overlooked it? It also resulted in both the first and second releases of their system being seriously delayed. I think if you assume the delays for XP and Vista
