When your nine day feed is up
And you’ve drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore
When the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout
See you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shine glitter bright
Gorging your sanhedralite
Words are falling to the floor
Glands stand pouring fruit tree
Now they glisten on the waterline
See how you are at the shore
I’m moving chrissie pretty flowers in the shutter maze
Haul up all your petty desires
Leave it lying down before
Wash away the rusty disease
Of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door
Feather yell you’ve time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Way too little way too late, I say.  There is nothing of any import in Microsoft’s latest cash cow that makes me want to upgrade.  Hardware sound is seriously limited.  Drivers are immature to say the least.  I won’t mention UAC, which most everyone will disable, making Vista’s attempts at improved security pretty much a moot point.  I just see nothing at this point that makes it worthwhile.  Sure there’s DirectX 10.  Yay.  Too bad I’d have to buy an entirely new PC to be able to make Vista even usable, let alone fast.  The hardware requirements are unbelievable to say the least.  I’m going to skip Vista for now.  Maybe sometime in the future there will be a conjunction of variables that makes it a worthwhile option.
