Vista SP1 actually, that's why 2008 came with "SP1" on release.

The NT kernel has always been a hybrid one, and your example of UNIX being modular is backwards. Linux and UNIX(*BSD, Solaris) have monolithic kernels.

Mini Win likely refers to MinWin? That's just changes to to the existing kernel though: http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/robert/mark-russinovich-explains-minwin-once-and-for-all.aspx

My bank uses a text message that sends you a code, but you can choose for the old fashioned list of codes.

You can even request a couple codes in advance for when you'll be going somewhere and you know you don't have access to your cellphone.

I quite like the text message system over the physical device that some other devices/blizzard's authenticator use because I'll have my cell phone with me everywhere, but the physical device is unlikely to travel with me.

Open internet explorer, type address. Address get's removed and replaced with about:blank and I get some sort of weird error about the site not being available.

Open a new tab get a "Connecting..." message and my browser locking up for a few seconds.

Even if it were faster at rendering the actual page, if it takes that much more time and effort to begin typing the url they already lost.
