I think that for all Vista’s slating, for the general user it is better looking, better for browsing pictures and better for watching films plus better for plugging in external devices and already having the drivers etc (which I prefer personally to installing manufacturers bloated driver packs… erhmmm… HEWLETT PACKARD!!). Anyway, personally as a general browse the net and check your emails, look at photos and watch a movie – I prefer Vista to XP.
But I am looking forward to seeing if MAC OSX works on the samsung with EVERYTHING working 🙂
