And for all of the people bitching about Vista costing $400, just STOP. A normal version that everyone can use will only cost you $100 - $150.
What do you consider a "normal" version of Vista? Are you referring to the Home Basic? I can't see why any one would want or should want to pay any amount of money for an OS that Isn't any better then XP Pro. There isn't any thing in Vista that The Average user needs. And there are far more average users then there are hard core or business users that might need or use any advantage of Vista.
As far as any of the eye candy in Vista goes, Any one using StarDock products have been enjoying the eye candy long before Vista came out.
Can you really blame them
What really makes me mad is the High price we are asked to pay for Vista here in the good old USA. They say part of it is because of Piracy. But yet in China where Microsoft says that piracy is running "Rampant" they cut the cost in half. Microsoft argues that if they cut the price of Vista more people will buy a legitimate copy.
Well DUH!!!! Now I ask you wouldn't it work just as well here in the USA. Oh Wait I almost forgot we are suppose to blindly let Microsoft shove it's products down or throats. It isn't suppose to matter How high the price or even if the product works. When I see some one say how good Vista is even though it has flaws in it (In a couple of years and god knows how many service packs Vista will run almost as good as XP Pro) I have to wonder how those same people would feel If after buying a new car they found out it would only run on three wheels but in a couple of years the auto maker would figure out how to make it run on all four wheels.
