Maybe Mozilla can figure out why I keep getting recommended Trevor Noah and the rest of the unfunny and painfully contrived corporate late night shows.

Playing just the gaffs isn't considered "doctoring" a video (i.e. implying something was said that actually wasn't). The propagandists at the NY Times need to try harder at framing.

Being that I am deployed overseas, I have had plenty of time to talk with people on their Vista experiences, since maybe 30 people here have bought (mostly) Toshiba Satellites from the PX here loaded with Vista Home/Home Premium, or recently bought another brand immediately before leaving. I would say, unbiasedly that vista is a big step back in terms of usability according what people say here. The start menu for certain people is awkward, UAC is an annoyance for many, some have complained that their XP and even Vista apps do not work right (Microsoft's own Zune software for instance), but the biggest complaint of all is that it is wretchedly slow. Opening Control panel is a 8-10 second wait at times (with a core 2 duo 1gb ram) in which the icons appear one by one by one. I have received 9 different requests to format hard drives and install a copies of XP, which is exponentially less bloated, and sooo much quicker. It actually feels like they are getting that dual core CPU they paid for. Transparent windows and fade in/out effects are great, but when it comes down to it, people expect it to work, and work well. Especially the mostly non-techie crowd in this case. If Ubuntu (which I happen to use) can capture some of these disappointed end-users who use their PC mainly for email/myspace/PrOn it will be good for everybody. I had a copy of mandrake on an old Packard Bell box I bought from a friend back in the late 90's. I knew nothing about gnu/linux at the time, but played with it for a while until I toasted something I couldn't fix, but even that short acquaintance with linux left me with a positive impression and curiosity, until a few years down the road when I tried out Fedora 3 and never looked back. Market exposure with a good product (albiet different from the norm) is bound to familiarize at least *some people*, and end up driving demand for better drivers 3rd party apps, etc in the long run. For the rest it might just create dormant curiosity for later on down the road when Microsoft denies their vista key in 2012. Zach
