Not a rip-off when you take something that works...that is called smart business sense. It just makes it harder for Apple to define how it is different. Just wait for a iWindows

I love those screen shots I would love to have vista and although it is very expensive here I am considering it. Is it true that If I have vista dont need Norton anti virus anymore? As my anti virus runs out in a month or so and that would take £40 of the Price of vista £150

Any advice would be great thanks in advance

What? Vista is not an anti-virus package. You should definitely have a package along with Vista. If you are going the Vista road, get it installed first and then load a anti-virus program that is compatible.

That's the Windows Aero feature. When you ALT-TAB, you get to switch between apps; however, hold the WinKey (between ctrl and alt) and then press the TAB key you get a rolodex of all apps you are running. That's what Wagner did.

Can you do it with a keyboard that doesn't have the WinKey? My notebook doesn't have one.

There is a toggle button in the tool bar. You just click it.

Don't renew Norton, you can download good FREE antivirus from the web.

I have been using Avast for about 2 years now. Not one problem, a friend is running Norton and has been hit by two viruses. Plus it uses far less resources.
