    The Amiga OS, right ? What a stupid idea for a poll. Vista is the best, precisely because most people who voted, have not used it, and are still believing the advertisements are true.

                          *grin* well, I guess it's the normal way to create a predictable poll to use in marketing.

                              I've made an honest attempt at using vista but I've had just too many issues with some of my favorite apps and tools that I've decided it's not worth my time. Plus, I've been developing more and more server side *nix apps these days.

                                  if you don't want it in marketing you make it behind closed doors, for internal use only. Otherwise you want it controlled and predictable.

                                    I'd say this was quite predictable.

                                        The question should've been "What is the single most bloated OS of all time?" 1st = Vista 2nd runner up = XP right behind it = Mac OS X the last one being other Roswell
