@polyfloyd the vista era was when i really started to look into switching to linux full time. the irony with that was that i actually found the vista hate to be overblown. i found it to be fine, good even. but i happened at the time to start believing that the best way to make the world better was to spend as little money on anything as possible as an act of rebellion. anyway. i got of topic there a little bit. i think celebrating the things vista got right is a good thing
