The microwave association is not the only group worried however, Cell Phone companies have been cast a worrying glance after it was revealed this product uses phone frequencies to cook the food.

I have always thought of Windows Vista as a heavily encumbered operating system, in much the same way as I did about Windows XP when it first came out.  However in the same way I found XP a reliable, well built operating system I found myself with a new laptop and Windows Vista already installed.  Needless to say I was impressed with it’s functionality, reliability and easy of use.  It does come with some problems however, just to start with Windows Vista visual effects use up 15% of the CPU usage.
