Windows Vista: worth the money?
Alegis:
And holy ****, while configuring my mic (it was actually much better to uninstall the audio programs that came with my mobo and have Vista select another driver automaticcaly) I noticed I forgot to use the speech recognition feature. Been using it the past 2 days and absolutely love it.
While I used speech recognition before, this beats it hands down. I miss the option to make custom commands (and not just add dictation words), but it is lovely so far. Just like the search (which works much better than Mac OS X's in search) it is spread over the OS.
Open Limewire for example will open it immediately, even though one may have only installed it and not have made any shortcuts or the like. I was surprised by the accuracy of the dictation mode, it's learning process and ease of correction. It makes navigating faster and a whole lot more fun - I think I'll make a seperate topic about this later as it is an overlooked feature that really has me "addicted to it". It is not entirely new of course, but its implementation now in contrast to 3rd party software is much better and new.

As a home user, unless you want to play games, there is really no reason to run Windows. It's just a shame Direct X has so much traction, Open Gl is doing really interesting things of late. I was really dissapointed about Neverwinter Nights 2 using direct x, thats the main reason I'm still running a dual boot.

I managed to go about 14 months without playing a game until NWN 2 and the new Dawn of war game came out.
My uni grades improved quite a bit...

Vista looks shiny. Verrrry shiny. But then, OSX looks shiny too and I don't use it.
