However, with an astronomical investment that I plan to make and upgrade my excuse for a computer, I may be able to experience 7 in due time. Well, in the defense of Microsoft, they did say that they were building Windows 7 based on Vista. So the UI is not surprising...

Vista is painful, and unintuitive in many respects, but there are some features that I really like. And it's unfortunate that too many hardware products, simple ones like printers and such, don't support Vista. SIGH. I've heard from a lot of my new friends here in the Oregon Silicon Valley that Flash and Java are the future in software development...and it looks like Microsoft is putting their energy into these as well. More sighing. Will be interesting to follow what you learn from the process. Vista is painful, and unintuitive in many respects, but there are some features that I really like.
