http://badvista.fsf.org In case you haven't seen it, BadVista is a site put together by the Free Software Foundation to collect commentary and articles about the negative "features" found in Windows Vista, and also suggest alternatives (ie, if your gonna go through the time an effort of a painful and difficult Vista upgrade, why not try a free OS instead?) They provide a fair number of links to other technology news sites (slashdot.org, CNET.com, etc) where articles about some questionable Vista features are covered by other reporters. Consider the site some interesting reading for your holiday break. Enjoy! John A.
