Windows Vista vs Windows XP

I have a nVIDIA 7900GS. That isn't the GeForce 8, is it?

No, that's the 7xxx series.

Here's an interesting statistic: Microsoft claims that Vista is being pirated at half the rate of Windows XP. MSoft is spinning this as evidence that their validation scheme is working as intended.

Seeing as Vista is readily available for illegal download from the usual suspects, I think this means pirates don't much want Vista. But that's just my take.

Yep, pirate copies of Vista are easier to get and use than those of XP (thanks to the volume licensing loophole actually working with WGA), so I don't think you can read that statistic any other way
