Upgrading to Vista

As much as I'm not a fan, I'm gonna
upgrade to Vista. I mean, Windows XP runs great on my MacBook and
I'm afraid that all the new non-wizbang applications that are part
of Vista will turn my pretty speedy Core2 Duo processor into a
16MHz 80386. Nevertheless, I'll bite the bullet and at the end of
the day be marginally surprised. I'm still waiting for the Windows
feature that makes me chuck my Mac into the Hudson, but so far I've
not seen it. Expose and Spotlight are 2 features from MacOS X that
have redefined the way I use a computer.
C'mon Microsoft. You can beat them.
Maybe in 2012?
While trying to determine which of the approximately 900 versions of Vista is right for me, I found this from the Joy of Tech.
I've laughed, but I've not solved my problem. Which version of Vista is right for me? Anyone have any ideas?

Fire at the Trinity Deli

When Levittown was built, 4 "shopping
centers" were built in the sort-of center of each of the 4 sections
of the town. These shopping centers were commonly referred to as
"Village Greens". They were usually slightly off-set from a main
road and were located near the towns public pools. Billy Joel makes
reference to them in "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" which you
can download here. If
you want me to draw you a picture, I can.
Fortunately enough for me, my High School was located within detention distance from the school. This, of course, stopped no one from going there every day for lunch. Sometimes twice a day if you stayed late for some after-school activity. Sometimes three times a day if you also needed drugs.
My sources (Thanks, Glen) tell me that the Trinity Deli recently burned in a suspicious 3:00am fire. Thankfully noone was hurt and DiMaggio's Pizza (no relation) right next door was only superficially damaged.
Oh well, another day in the life of the good people of Hicksville and the kids of Holy Trinity High School. I can only hope that the kids have found a new place to get their drugs.
