I really enjoyed this post. It seems I was reading myself.

The only thing I really miss now that I’m back to XP from Vista (I consider myself a hero that I’ve lasted for 1,5 year) is Vista’s search box in the start menu.

Is this information? I can write an algorithm in less than ten minutes in Python for that.
I wish he didn’t have to write such narrative entries only on weekends. Very often TC has a lot of “fast typed” articles. Even in this one though there are spelling errors which makes you wonder WHY (can’t they use Firefox’s spell checker?)
