I meant the bozo’s in the Air Force who choose Xp over vista even when the system they are installing it on runs vista extremely well.

Actually, I haven't seen many of those systems. The systems that they've purchase at my local base are not capable of running Vista well, especially in an engineering office where we use Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, AutoCAD 2010 MEP, and Photoshop CS3/4.

The small HP desktops are a piece of junk and if it wasn't for the Dell systems that our engineers purchased 3 years ago I think we would have already had that mutiny I spoke of earlier.

I've put in a requisition for some high performance Dell towers and hopefully we will get those soon, but the engineers will only use them if Windows 7 is installed on them. If it comes with Vista, they will rot in a closet until 7 is implemented.

From an end user standpoint, I find nothing good about Vista and I hope and pray for its speedy replacement. My engineers absolutely despise it, our IT repairmen hate it as well, and the only ones who like it are the ones being paid big bucks to push it.

No offense, but in my view, Vista stinks.
