Those poor Windows users, how will they ever get used to these changes... like:
Other fundamentals in Windows Vista will include faster and more secure startup, both during boot-up and when returning to active status from standby mode; improved user-mode (as opposed to kernel mode-based) driver design so that "a printer driver that crashes isn't going to crash the OS as well"
Familiar...? :D

Whatever.
The Windows world has no interest to me anymore. I hope I don't ever have to buy another windows based PC due to software again.
Hopefully with the Intel switch any reason for using windows in terms of applications will be gone as, programmers will no longer need to design them for the PPC chip and the x86 chip.

I like this quote: " The OS will have a new restart manager "that we think will reduce reboots by 50 per cent," Wilson says."
Here are some screenshots:

doesnt look much different than the current OS, but I must say, I'm glad they got rid of the big green start button. The transparencies look nicer too.
You can see the tabs in ie in this picture behind the other window

...And leaked to thousands of spyware, virus and trojan horse programers. Windows Vista will be the first OS to come preloaded with viri to keep Symantec and other anti-virus software makers in cash for years to come.

Well it seems that the new OS will be more secure, let's hope it is, because it bothers me so much when I see people using Windows based computers and they can barely do anything because of all the problems they have.

I'm certain it's better than Tiger, but what about Leopard? Will see
I'd be very interested to know what your certainty is based on. Practically everything described in the article is a feature we've been enjoying in Mac OS X from the early days.
