And unlike South Africa during apartheid, its uber-cool to visit for hospitality and culture. Anyway, anyone want to bet how long MS lets this stand? I mean if there were ever an OS designed for a one-party dictatorship, that's Windows Vista. Yeah if you can handle the poverty, censorship and the one-party dictatorship, Cuba ain’t so bad.

Isn't the isolation and pain inflicted by the USA on a country that wants to control it's own destiny a Godless act.
