Hey, I just moved to the Twin Cities from Fargo! (not to gloat, but this is pretty sweet, as long as the price goes down) Hopefully it'll spread up there eventually. By the way it sure seems like there are a lot of us upper midwesterners on Engadget :)
Nomad: AMEN! This is what I've been trying to tell people for months. Whenever I talk about Vista there is always 1-2 people that seem to automaticly seem to say "Oh, I've heard Vista is terrible". Then, I ask them "Have you used Vista?" 100% of the time: "No."
Now, Okay, I did buy a new computer with Vista. I would not have the same kind of hardware problems as someone who upgrades on an old computer. Maybe the old hardware would not work as well, but that is a risk that they take when they install it. They need to check on these things before they install. The same hardware that works on Windows XP is not guaranteed to work on Linux or Mac either!
On another note- Most people don't like Vista because of it's annoying security (actually, none of us can argue that Windows needs LESS security), or hardware and driver issues. This has nothing to do with security vulnerabilities, which this report has published. I have no doubt that Vista's new security has prevented vulnerabilities. Security holes is not why people say they "HATE" vista.
