    News from the front.
    Quicklaunch is not dead

    -Right-click the taskbar, choose Toolbars / New Toolbar
    -In the folder selection dialog, enter the following string and hit OK:
    -%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
    -Turn off the “lock the taskbar” setting, and right-click on the divider. Make sure that “Show text” and “Show title” are disabled and the view is set to “small icons”.
    -Use the dividers to rearrange the toolbar ordering to choice, and then lock the taskbar again.

    Since you can pin programs to the start bar it's not really needed.

    In my opinion the new OS will surely replace Vista and might get XP users to upgrade when it comes out. My only problem is that Microsoft paid barely any attention to Vista (haha Vista was probably so bad it was beyond repair :D), meaning we might need to buy the new OS or stick with Vista (or XP).

    No, Vista got SP1.

    Still continuing updates.

    I just reinstalled Vista. The beta version of Windows 7 can not play many games.

    Also, there are many bugs, such as End Process not working, lag, freezing, etc.

    I have it. It's a great system, good looking, fast, although it fights with antiviruses...
