It seems as if the website www.mojaveexperiment.com does not exactly advertise Windows Vista (as MS intended). I mean... what OS would you use for a Webserver if you were MS? (Any version of) Windows? Or maybe CentOS, which is a distro of Linux. Well, MS chose the latter.

Heh. They got a bit owned there.
What i saw of the Mojave experiment was also not too impressive. They talk about Vista's new features. Of course people is going to get a skewed impression. Now if they let people use it for a few months and then asked them for opinions, they might get a different picture.
I've used it myself, so it's my right to dislike it, and MS can't do anything about that. Also, there are those fundamental issues with Vista such as DRM and the expensive pricing, that makes me and my principles dislike it no matter what.
Btw, the command prompt can be customized to be fullscreen with blue background and white text. I've tried, and it's rather nice on the eyes.

Expensive pricing, You know Windows 98 was $600 on its release date. Oh, in fact its cheaper to get Vista than Windows XP. Even when M$ still sold the darn thing. However M$ made a big mistake with Vista by not waiting until the OEM's started to get fully geared up and ready for the OS.
Ok. It might have dropped in price, I hadn't noticed that. I still recommend XP for people who have to use Windows.
