Considering every single one of them work flawlessly with Mac OS, I'm going to have to go ahead and let everyone else come to their own conclusion with that one. :)

Yes. There are tons of documented RTOS products out there for just such things. Somehow tweaking windows into some kind of quasi-embedded product is just a wee bit silly.

Just like Vista leaves a little to be desired with its "3D" interface (and I use that term loosely). :) I mean, Ubuntu 6.10 running AIGLX/Beryl does everything it can... plus another two dozen things it can't that are actually pretty useful. And Vista's not even ready yet!
I run Ubuntu 6.10 w/ Beryl/XGL and oddly enough, I like the Aero Glass theme the most. :)

Does that make me evil, or just confused?

I still say the whole deal between MS and Novell was so that MS could rip off some XGL features and stick them into Vista at a later point in time. The deal precludes Novell from ever suing Microsoft (and David Reveman, from Novell, was the one who started Compiz) so it makes logical sense to me. Don't be surprised to see a 3D cube feature integrated into Vista sometime within the next year or two.

I love how, on this site at least, anybody who appears to be anti-MS is instantly bashed. Which is ironic, considering it's usually the opposite way around on pretty much any other forum. For all you MS lovers on this site, please explain to me exactly WHAT Microsoft has been so innovative at doing? Who knows -- if you explain it good enough, I might justify shelling out the $200+ for Vista when it goes to retail. But I've already downloaded, installed and run the RTM version and honestly I must say I'm not impressed at all. With the exception of shinier windows and an overly cluttered Control Panel and a slightly revamped Start Menu, I do not see the amount of innovation we all should've expected after having to wait for this OS for FIVE YEARS.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17543185 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 16:04:26 EDT Re: Microsoft... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17543169 jgkolt : "

That could be. My BT USB adapter is only a couple of months old.
