I've learned from a credible source that:
1. 640 K ought to be enough for anybody!
2. In two year there will be no spam.
3. Vista will fix ALL vulnerabilities.
4. Vista wil make viruses a thing of the past.
5. Vista will make spyware a thing of the past.
So, I guess in 5 years when Vista comes out, we will all be out of work!
