I might as well put in my two cents on saving Windows XP from extinction. I’ve tinkered around with Vista a little bit and the interface is pretty cool as long as you have the hardware to run it.

I’ve been using Visual Studio 2008 for a few weeks now and came across a small issue. Of course it was with a new feature I wanted to use.
