Vista makes it hard to watch movies.

i haven't gotten to that point yet. So far I'm enjoying vista, runs great on that machine. I'm supposed to be able to sling my media to my xbox via the wifi network and that doesn't seem to be working great. Haven't put enough time into it yet though.

You are now suckling the teet of mother capitalism. A gormandized epigone of the corporate machinehead, your actions undermine the true fabric of human existence.... I hope your monitor is set to exposes the resolution of your soul!!!

I have no problem with Microsoft, Apple, Dell, Google, or ANY other company thats made it on its own without the need to suckle on the tit of your fascist government.
