# Vista
Vista. It's about 13 years late and has about a tenth of the features it was supposed to have, but it's here. I visit Dell's website every few days to see their specials, and I noticed that many of their machines are now Vistafied. I know XP will be around for a while, especially for the eleventy billion PCs that aren't specced out to run Vista, but this marks the start of a new era. What sort of era, is the question?
I haven't paid too much attention to Vista, but everything I hear is about DRM and screw-the-customery and insane hardware requirements. Right now I'm comfortable switching between Linux and XP as a desktop, both have their strengths and irritations. I'm not one for taking principled stands when it comes to choosing what software to use, but I'm just not keen to ever have to move to Vista.
