Most of the people I come across are more than satisfied with Vista. Furthermore the reason you assume this "rush" is because the media portrays it that way. Microsoft spent a long time on Vista because it was written from scratch whereas all older OS's had been just revamped from it's previous versions. Windows has now a strong platform to work with here and resume where they'd left off in previous releases. Some people call Windows 7 the Vista RC2 kind of like Windows 98SE. From the TechNet meetings I've been to they say this is not the case. Windows 7 will be a major release since it is to change a lot of the interface and implement touchscreen technology. I don't see Apple Crashntoss doing the same thing for all the computers they release. Windows got a lot of bad press because of Apple but they failed to mention that Leoptard had more issues upon release then Vista. I do think Microsoft could have done a better job standing up for themselves though. I'm a Vista Ultimate x64, Windows XP Pro x64 and Ubuntu Ultimate 1.9 x64 PC. Mac sucks mainly because of their dictatorship and very limited close source development. Vista runs best for me then Ubuntu and lastly XP. I'm an IT Professional working as an IT Engineering Analyst at Tyco Electronics. I give little credit to Apple as I will no longer use nor support their components.

I got to give you props for putting Photoshop on.
Too many times have I heard that the chip is too weak for anything than browsing.
Cs2 is not a light software, so maybe the chips arent that useless after all.

I dont see myself retouching photos on the MSI after spending all day doing that stuff on a 24 inch screen but the fact is I COULD do it if I needed to finish something.
