Why is Vista needed for college? I can't imagine going to a school which stoops down to such an low-class OS as a requirement. :P > Whilst vista looks and feels awfull the miniature > desktop slideshow in the side-bar is pleasant.

Just to clarify - you have the ability to show what apps are running in a horizontal scroll bar shown in the middle of the screen and similar to KDE's task switcher. As far as I know, I have yet to see such a thing. I've yet to see really anything in Vista - except for the temperature gauge thingy - that is remotely cool. In fact, I rarely see my desktop so I don't bother with teh temperature thingy in Linux.
