Words on Windoze Vista

Ah, Vista--six years overdue, more bloated than ever, and, thanks to protracted development, pricey as heck, not to mention I've heard reports of serious holes in the security. All this I fear will be Microsoft's undoing: unease with the OS' steep price, requirements, and dubious security will prevent widespread adoption, although it will ship with every new computer since it's release. Quite frankly, the platform has been doomed from the start: because it was designed for personal computers, there seemed to be little need for serious security, allowing the inclusion of porous internal boundries for the sake of speed and laziness. This, combined with a fanatical adeherence to backwards compatibility, has crippled it. In my opinion, Microsoft should just make a Dragonfly BSD distro, bolt Wine onto it, and call that the new Windows, although I've read many such distros demanding requirements well above that of the new behemoth. Heck, we could'nt upgrade to Mac OS X.4 until we upgraded our computer, a 2001 500MHz iMac to a 1.8GHz iMac G5; however I know a friend who got it to run on his old 300MHz PowerMac G3--not smoothly, I must add, but adequately.
