Lori, the start search prompt is still available in SP1. Only the “Search” link under Games will be gone.

Michael – I was reading this post and was curious about something you said. You said “the
search item in the Start Menu will be removed”. You aren’t talking about the Sart Search data entry field righ above the Start button are you? That’s one of the only things that makes Vista usable! If you can’t figure out where MS hid a function – just start typing! Just wantd to be sure I understood which Search you are referring to.

I heard this recommendation for Linux as a desktop OS already for so many years. So I hope you can forgive me if I am a bit suspicious about Ubuntu, too. When I heard that Dell is selling desktops with preinstalled Ubuntu I got curious, though. So it is already on my to-do-list to check it out.

Ha! I don’t know about you, Mike, but I’ve been on Ubuntu for a few weeks now, and I will NEVER go back to Windows even if they pay me. Ok, fine…maybe if they pay me…I’ll think about that. But Ubuntu will outlive Windows a year or two from now no matter how many SPs they produce.
