Just some quick hits after my first day of Vista RC2 & more generally the current state of Vista.

After months of trying to convince myself to wait until Vista ships, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new PC.   Since I plan to buy a nice laptop later, I decided to just get a low-end PC sufficient to hold me over for 6 months to a year.   Luckily, I found a great deal ($539) on a Dell Dimension 9200 with a Core 2 Duo 1.86 ghz processor, 1gb DDR2, 256mb NVidia 7300 , etc.  At this price, my days of assembling my own PC's are over.  :)
