Good to know, for those who will be brave enough to "upgrade".

Maybe once I get my clustered up VMX server deployed. :lol:

Or I can VNC to a PC 500 miles away over a 56k connection to get the GUI experience of vista. :evilsmile:

Hah, I'm a bit tired right now, so that page *almost* slipped past my phony radar :lol:

When you look at the real Vista stats, for the most part, the premium stats seem reasonable for most home pc's I know of (with the 128mb video card being the only point of contention), but as for businesses, forget about that.
