Only thing I've found about Vista that I like is the

Hi Terry,

Vista did finally go to vector graphics for character generation (easy
on old eyes like mine), and has the file tags (probably nobody uses)
that lets the search function scream. I think that indexing thing is
mostly to blame for the large amount of memory needed by vista.

I'd never seen thunderbird or firefox 'till I put linux on my 8 year old
PIII866 last spring...It finally got a root kit in it I couldn't remove.
Up until then it ran WinMe, OE, Agent and Explorer all that time except
for when I tried XP and it just buried the poor PIII with 256meg.

Now I'm stuck learning Vista on my laptop and linux on the desktop....
