Are these rumors true?

All my Vista crashes have been the Blue Screens that Windows shut down to save the Computer from blowing up.:)

But they're better than the Windows (3.x-enh386, 95, 98, ME) way to notify errors. Does user want a big BSOD saying "PLEASE INSERT THE CD WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER XXXXXXXX OR PREPARE TO DIE"? No. At least, I don't. The WinNT3.1/3.5/3.51 BSOD is more useful than the Win2K/XP/2K3 BSOD. And the users of WinVi must take care of their hearts... bloody screens... what an innovation!

I will be surprised if Vista goes final for quite some time. My old Windows ME computer works better.

Probably Vista will be something like a new WinME, entirely ported to the Win32/Win64 NT Kernel, used to obtain more money and to innovate in graphical candy... Why does KDE use few system resources to produce a beautiful UI, and WinVista needs 10,000 CPUs at 2.2 GHz to be "enjoyable"? I don't understand the point. $80 for what? To obtain a product that will kill your computer and your brain? Where's usability? aaargh.

I have yet to see any red SOD, I get only blue.

I will not pay for Vista, it's horrible as of now, but we'll get it free with out volume licensing anyways. I just hope we don't decide to roll it out for everyone to use, I really don't want to support it.
