Funny that.  I was at a dog and pony show several months ago by
some Microsofties on the wonders of Vista.  I don't think I saw
anything that I haven't had for several years with OS X (other
than a system lock up or two during the demo :-).

I wonder how much extra software one needs to by for Vista to get
all the toys that are standard with a new Mac -- iTunes, iPhoto,
iMovie, iDVD, Garage Band, etc.

If the Democrats had wanted Gore to be president, they should have
