You've yet to convince us that change is for the better and not just for the sake of change.

Do you believe in evolution?

No, but I believe on natural selection.

For me, the biggest complaint about Vista I had was because Creative Labs for the longest time, couldn't write a driver worth a damn for it. Didn't matter if it was Vista 32-bit or Vista 64-bit, the Creative Labs drivers were JUNK for at least 12-16 months. Vista 64 was very stable for me, when I ran with the sound drivers from Asus and used the built in sound card on the motherboard. Disable that, and use the Sound Blaster, and poof, Vista became an OS that you could topple over with a feather.

Once Creative Labs pulled their head out of their butts, and wrote good drivers, Vista 64 was pretty awesome for me, until Windows 7 came out. Given the sheer number of people out there who use Creative Labs products, it wouldn't surprise me that if 90% or more of the "Vista Problems" were as a direct result of poor drivers from Creative Labs.

Should be fixed to "I'm aware of that notion". Take that however as you may.

Now can we get back to win 8 please?

Only a matter of time before The Onion makes a parody of Windows 8.
