Windows Vista is a rumored to be a resource hog and will be loaded with the maxium amount of DRM known to mankind that will require obtaining a certificate and license for virtually every activity.
And although Microsoft Corp. has yet to finalize the minimum requirements for a PC to run Vista, it is unlikely to run the Aero Glass Graphics on anything with intergrated video.
Personally I don't care because I don't use Windows for anything except Tax Software and for that I still have a box that runs Windows 2000.
I much prefer Linux and FreeBSD but I am thinking about moving to MAC for convenience.
But, since most gaming has now moved to consoles and no one really cares very much about a fancy user interface, ( I am more interested in getting things done ) do you think that Windows Vista will force a migration to alternative operating systems?
Or do you think that most companies and home users will stay with 2K or XP until Microsoft stops supporting them and shuts them down?

Suppose someone you know-anybody: a neighboor, a classmate- is seriously injured and needs your blood to survive, otherwise he'll die. You didn't really like him, but you know he needs you. Would you go for it?

No xrays were taken when I fell, but I know now that I cracked or chipped a bone in my leg. The sore over the bone stayed open and supposedly infection got into the bone.
My doc did NOT do a blood test to confirm infection.... My symptoms read as an infection but I am afraid to take the anti biotics with out knowing if she (Doc) chose the RIGHT kind for MY type of infection. Can anyone tell me what type of anti biotic they were put on? AND for how long? If mine do not help with in 7 days I am supposed to get a bone scan... radio active dye? no thank you....

I have an 8 year old son, and for those that helped with my 5 year old question thanks! I am coming up to a head with another issue!

I have a problem with his clothing and what he insists on wearing. He has a fair to middlin' warddrobe and to purchase lots more clothing to his desire and liking is not a possibility right now.

You see he insists on wearing the same clothes every day. He is really into dress shirts, which at his age I think is neat, but he wears the same shirt 2 sometimes three days in a row, or at least he tries to.

I have made it clear to him that this is poor hygiene and there is a rule he cant wear them, his clothes are dirty when he comes home every day. The big problem is he flips out about this every day. Says he's going to run away from home and that I "hate" him because I wont let him wear the same clothes every. I'm firm with my rules about it and just recently i decided for a few days i'd help him pick out clothes. its not helping at all. Hints?
