Dont forget it is the service packs that make us more safe.
No matter, vista too will have some loopholes, and there will be service packs, but do you complain when they give you a free CD of these service packs?

i dont't think giving out free cds is that big a deal....its for their own good....they have to fix in the loop holes....they will lose out on popularity if they don't....

I am afraid if many would agree. We all have seen the SPs creating more holes than fixing them. Windows have a past of such problems. The SPs are cracked/hacked/Smashed before they even reach to the poor window infected peeps.

I don't like the view of Vista. Back when i installed XP for the first time my first impression abt XP was 'kewl' because i was migrating from 98 to XP snd i got hooked to the visual effects. But i don't know why i just hate this Vista's visual effects ( from wat i have seen from screenshots).

Try asking Microsoft, they might send you the links. In any case, you need to refresh your memory by heading to the rules section and learn what's allowed here and what is frowned upon. And if you continue to make us frown, you might just end up with a warning tag...or a ban. The choice is your's.
