Vista vs. Linux - Which is REALLY better?

I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same.

Use Google, make yourself a notepad/vim with all the features Vista has more than XP... You'll be amazed.

One example:

Press Windows Key and
1. Type 'adobe', it will list all Adobe products you have.
2. Type 'live m' followed by enter, Windows Live Messenger will start! (Same for e-mails, favorites, history, indexed locations, ...)
