What I saw bought me back to earth and garnered a genuine appreciation for what Microsofts new OS has to offer. I only saw a relativley brief demo and we focused on the media features but I did see enough of the general screens and functionality to formulate an opinion.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 451px; height: 397px\" height=\"397\" alt=\"Vista Desktop\" src=\"http:\/\/d2.degen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/vista.gif\" width=\"451\" \/><\/div>\n<p>You know those commercials with the two guys, one the MAC and one the PC?

He is still a PC but wow, they have really improved him. He is wearing new, hip, clothes and he buffed up and got a new haircut. Cooler to hang out with even though he is STILL a pc. I think that, on the surface, is where Vista takes us. For average users that is fine, more importantly for power users I think the changes in VISTA below the skin will make the computing experience more complete by allowing us to tailor the experience to our own needs.<br \/>\nNext I will take the plunge and install Vista on my laptop, I look forward to sharing that experience.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, maybe thats a little dramatic but I have seen Vista in the home&#8230;and its not too bad.
