    My desktop machine broke and so Dell sent me a bunch of parts to try. 
    But none of them fixed the problem. So they sent me a new machine, but 
    it has Vista pre-installed. Yeah, yeah, I know Windows is evil (I'm 
    working on Tablet PC code, so I need Windows).

Windows Vista is much more evil than previous versions.  (See
BadVista.org.)  Perhaps you should complain and insist they send you a
replacement machine with the same Windows version that you had.

I hope that you're not writing software to RUN on Windows.  Each
program written to run on Windows adds to the social inertia that
keeps Windows going.  A year from now, will someone say, "I know
Windows is evil, but I'm using Aaron Adler's code so I need Windows"?
