Chris, what is it about Vista Tablet that you can't switch to XP Tablet?

For the record - the new Office interface is amazing. It takes a little time to get used to, but well worth the effort.

I've been using Vista for awhile, and if it wasn't on a Tablet I would switch back to XP.

Ok, who is the guy using OS/2? Seriously, change is usually a good thing.

elambend, I was going to show you a link to a page that repeats back what your browser is saying about you. But typepad's overzealous spam filter wouldn't allow it. Do a google search for "your browser tells" and click the first link.

Stat counters can detect what OS visitors can use, as well as which browser.

Howâ€™s the sound? King Crimson-esque?

Hereâ€™s why:

“Robert Fripp worked at Microsoft’s studios to record new sounds and atmospheres for Windows Vista.”

Wow. Linux and Windows freakin' 2000 are as popular as Vista among your readers.

Re: your own computers, ditch Microsoft now and switch to an easy Linux distro like Ubuntu. It's not just for geeks anymore.
