... or will it simply have no affect on how we perform our daily computing tasks?

Vista is just more of the same M$ junk, full of security holes, overpriced and overcooked.
The Linux revolution is happening right now, with some superb distributions available at tiny cost ($10-$30). Linux has no license number to type in, no product activation, and you can install it on as many computers as you like, again and again, for all eternity! It's a superbly stable and secure computing environment with aggressive separation of different users on the same PC.
Plus the desktop is SOOOOOOOO cool and customizable - it makes Windows look pathetic. On my Linux Mandriva (running on a Dell Dimension 2400) I get the full Open Office suite, perfect DVD movie playback, rock-solid CD burning with K3B, Firefox, FTP, CD rippers, vector drawing programs, screen grabber, screen magnifier tool, great e-mail applications and MUCH more.
Plus (another plus) - when installing software you don't have to keep re-starting the computer! You just install it and use it. Simple.
Surfing with Firefox under Linux is truly surfing in a tank! Even the worst hacker site attacks just bounce off the armor-plated Linux.
So how much did my Linux Mandriva cost me? Well, er, nothing. The disk came FREE on the front of a computer mag which cost less than $10. There is no product activation, no serial number, no Windows "Genuine" stuff or any of that. This Linux lasts forever, there's no "time out" or limit. I can install it again and again on all my computers, and then make a copy of the disc and give it to all my buddies - that is allowed under the GNU license.
PLEASE try Linux - it's not yet perfect but we're working on it! Leave Microsoft and their nonsense behind you.
BE COOL - GET LINUX!
