What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.
Then how do you know it's a duck pond?

Rant

Die, Microsoft, Die

System Restore was using up 100GB of disk on my new system. 

The only indication of this was that there was 100GB of missing space that I couldn't account for - and that after I turned off System Restore, I got it all back.

In Windows XP, you could control the amount of space System Restore would use.  In Vista, it's fixed at 15% of your disk space, and bad luck to you if that's a problem.

Sigh.

Currently copying about a terabyte of data off my old Vista box in preparation for switching over to the new one.  If I get paid this week I'm going to pick up another 1.5TB drive.  Don't absolutely need it, but it will make the migration process a lot easier.
