Geez, ain't the roll of a new operating system fun. Oh, yeah, and let's add the roll of a totally new version of office suite, too. Microsoft WIndows XP is now officially 'retired', and Windows Vista is the one. Buy a new machine, comes with Vista. Doesn't matter that half the software out there won't run on Vista (did I mention that?), but at least Vista's pretty. Microsoft Office 2007 is the other new bundle of joy on the block. So Office 2003 has now also been retired from mainstream distribution and Office 2007 has taken it's place (can anyone say "learning curve" ?).

Now I'm sure that in 6 months time both Vista and Office '07 will be great, but until then, Vista only at home, please. Repeat after me… "Vista does not yet belong at the office".
