Of Vista and Shininess

I know it's cool to bad-mouth Microsoft (and fun, too) but Vista really is...well, shiny. The more I use it, the more I like it. I couldn't point to anything specific that makes me feel this way, which leads me to believe that for once, MS have got the little things right (that, and turning off UAC has made a big difference - that Mac vs PC ad was funny for a reason)

Office 2007 is proving to be a very slick piece of software as well, and a big improvement over 2000 (which is the last version of Office I used).

Don't get me wrong, I don't suddenly want to get down and dirty with the boys from Redmond, but credit where credit is due.

On the other hand, one of my subjects this semester is learning how to administer a Linux system. This is proving to be a lot of fun. I've got a suspicion that by the end of this Semester at least one of my computers will become a dual-boot system.
