Perhaps the VPN drivers will be available then to make it useful for work too.
Hm? I can use VPN in Vista just fine. I use it every day to connect to our Windows Server 2003 domain controller at work.
Cisco VPN drivers for Vista. There's a beta release but not a qualified version. As a result I can't use them to connect to where I'm working, which is ironic, given what the product is used for.
I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't bundle a decent virus checker along with fixing all the various security design flaws.
It's true. And Norton is a resource hog. I've actually stopped using it. I believe that if you're selective about the sites you visit, and if you know the software you're installing, and if you don't automatically open every attachment you receive in a piece of e-mail, you're fine without a/v. That's not advice everyone should take, but many people can get away without it.
That's nice if you aren't mandated what software you have to run. I don't get to work with the companies I work for, without A/V software running.
My university made an academic alliance with Microsoft and I've got the Windows Vista Business for free with licence of course. More than that I can download any Microsoft product for free with a valid licence key. Is that sweeeeet or what!
It's a great deal for Microsoft, that's for sure.
Yeah, how dare a company make money off the backs of people using their products. :P
I've got no problem with them making money for the effort it takes to write it. But I don't think they are giving it away to students out of some altruistic notion ;)
I'm not sure what it's all about. I've just received a mail from a teacher saying that the students from Computer Science and Control Engineering can sign up on this site and get any Microsoft software for free. Me and all my colleagues did and now we can download anything. Here's a link with more info if you are interested: link

It's a great deal - you get to use any and all the MS products you like while you are a student, then get turned out into the workforce, predisposed to use, buy & recommend MS tools wherever possible.
