It´s interesting what it may bring, dozens of different
versions, all sorts of rating and licensing system specs,
quite some extra CPU usage and a semitrans interface.

But I still don´t know wether Vista will actually support
more than two CPU sockets and more than 1.5 GB or
by luck even 3 GB RAM per process :- )

Well, I for one can't understand why a OS should need a accelerated graphics card... and that for each version since NT4 windows has been more and more bloated with stuff that you can't chose if you want to install or not... and lets not forget the hole virus,spyware blabalblablabla.... which seems only to get worse. Granted not everything works with Linux, but then again... we do productions with it everyday so it can't be *that* bad. What I miss the most is having something like Zbrush (my hopes is for mudbox on linux) and a decent 3D paint program.

I too am dreaming of the new Xeon QuadCore's. But they are a bit
expensive at the moment. So I think I will settle with a "normal"
dualcore.
