Winblows has never been new or innovative.

I read that review earlier today. His upshot is, unless you've bought a new machine very recently or are planning on buying a state-of-the-art machine, don't bother with Vista. It must be a monster resource hog.

Well, I have run W2K for years and it's a useful OS. I have no doubt Vista is even better but MS lost me when they decided I don't really own what I paid for; I don't, after all, buy a hammer from a store that tells me I can use it in only one place.

So we're transitioning to Linux, specifically SUSE 10.2. It's not as finished a product as Windows and driver support is only 'pretty good', but it's completely satisfactory for our Internet machines. Unless you have a specific need for some Windows-only app, I highly recommend it.

Wall Street Journal's Walter S. Mossberg's review of Vista... and compares it to OS X.4 Tiger... PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Interesting ... from Mossberg, Microsoft Maven

Microsoft is simply playing it safe. There was little need to rush Vista out, since XP has been selling more than all the competitors combined over it's life of 5 years. During that time some choose to pay more for something better, while some choose to pay less for something worse. Microsoft has simply hedged it's bet with Vista, actually putting the pressure on those charging more for something better lower their price, and those charging less come up with something as good, and right now we're seeing some of that but not much.

In short, buy a Mac. He even mentions Apple's new upcoming OS.

Thanks for the ping(s) and this is getting to be interesting! When we've got a PC guy like Mossberg yakking against Vista alot of folks will begin to wake up and notice. I'm all the more about to consider moving to Apple.

I hope those comments removed by the Mod weren't mean-spirited, personal attacks and anti-Apple diatribes.
But we can imagine, can't we?
