huh?
""live icons" that show a graphical representation of the file in question."

huh? Are you kidding me? This is the new great innovative Vista? I've had this feature on my Linux desktop for over three years now!

Looks like the only thing new in Vista is eye candy, sad, really sad.
The hype behind this mediocre OS is ridiculous...

On par? The KDE desktop surpassed MSWindows years ago. I use XP at work and Linux/KDE at home. I know which one is superior. KDE combined with the true multiuser/multiprocessing power of Linux is superior.

In fact, I set up a Linux box at work in order to do the multimedia things that can't be done on Windows.

I sometimes feel sad for the windows user chained to their OS and don't know the power of Linux. But then I remember it's their fault they are still there...
