I'd rather see Windows: 'We've spent this whole time bug-fixing, rather than adding more resource-hogging crap to "help" you, so that now you can have a decent OS that doesn't crash all the time and whine about everything' Edition

Is 'vista' Spanish? What does it mean?
Hasta la Windows vista. :p

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

Me too.  But at least it means something.  XP is just two letters.

The article had a "preview video", but the operating system itself was conspicuously absent. :p

Everyone will switch back to the old pre-XP layout as they do now anyway.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I'm more partial to 2000.
