What's with Vista!

It's been some time since "Longhorn" the successor to Windows XP has been officially named Windows Vista.

I ponder does 'Vista' sound catchy or has M$ got a blooper on their hands? Though, the logo turns out to be pretty flashy.

MSDN subscribers can download the Beta right away. I'll try to get my hands on it for a preview for our lovely mag and readers of Spider ;)

I doubt any positive thing in Vista. Its just a damn old hack in a new wrapper. You can say it as "Gold Leaf kay packet main Babo ki Bere".

Grow up folks, move to Linux, the _TRUE_ Operating System. Its only a matter of time that Linux and OSX combinigly will replace the Windows monopoly !!

Well, will have to wait for the final OS X port for X86-64 to release. Than we do see some serious competitions.

Secondly, recent Linux distro have been the most comfortable as they can get with auto USB device detection, auto hard drive mountings, DVD writing and what not.

Thirdly, most people may not be aware of is that major vendors do offer linux drivers of their products for free download. These include Intel, HP, Nvidia, ATI to name a few.

And the Linux community is thriving daily to bring cross-compatability.
