too bad M$ outsources nearly all of it's physical labor to china and India. :/

Also, i'm running the w7 beta and fucking love it. Runs just like vista (which i have used faithfully for 2+ years now) and has a ton of features.

Windows 7 from what i heard, unlike vista, is actually pretty damn stable, lotsa kids in my class have been running the beta, and even my teacher who HATES windows and is a complete linux guru liked it (but thats because the OS is becoming more like linux every time lol)
