    *sigh* Don't be a grammar-nazi. And if you really want to look at my grammar you could at least tell me what's wrong so I can improve. Otherwise that's just annoying. Pretty damn annoying even.

    It's just that every discussion becomes another "Vista -vs- this and that" debate after about two pages. This is the Windows forum, not Linux, not Mac- Windows. I certainly don't go to the Linux forum and try to convert people to Windows all the freaking time.

    Referring to the "suks" actually, otherwise, perfect grammar :p.
    And that's right, you don't, for good reason, not many would switch :p

    Er, yeah, in that case let me apologize for swearing and all that. But after all this time it's hard not to let these things get to you. Like many other Vista users I've had to put up with a lot of BS even from close friends because I picked the 'wrong' OS.

    There are far more Windows users out there, of course there will be less switchers. I don't have anything against Linux, just the fanboys and the 'converters' (Reminds me of religion, don't ever try to convert someone, that'll just **** people off.). I have used many distros on my other laptop and it just wasn't for me. The main problem is that the programs I NEED just don't work in Linux. And that's all there is to it.


    EDIT: Meh. 'Bout time this topic went back on-topic. Tho I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

    I wonder what Midori will be like by the time it's in 1.0?

    Alright Sam, I will. Sorry if it seems like all I do is whine here.

    Hopefully a bit like Linux huh? Linux might have many drivers out of the box, but that's all you get it seems. I say, hopefully like a lightweight Windows that can run all programs, and has got the same excellent and optimized drivers that you usually get from all the hardware manufacturers.

    Virtualization support seems to be Microsoft's main focus in the Midori project. It'll be interesting to see how they'll implement it. From the initial outlook, it might be a lot like Xen.
