lots of people complaining now but they will have the best when they get it and i'd suggest getting Vista Ultimate because it has the built in back-up feature's... save your backup to extra hard drive or dvd... built in no need to buy acronis true image.. or nortons ghost.
I wonder how much of it is just new for the sake of new. I went from Windows 96 to 98 to Millennium and 2000 and now run XP. I preferred 98. Every new “upgrade” becomes ever more “user friendly”, and I am tired of having an operating system that continually tries to second guess me. It usually guesses wrong.
bump to me for later because I am thinking of buying a new laptop.
What makes me sad is all the Mac heads are so full of hate, they have spent countless hours posting Anti Vista posts, filled with disinformation, and their own talking points. Do you all get together with iChat and discuss what talking points are going to be used today?
"Five years for a chrome-plated turd"
That's a quote from the article.
Been in the business 15 years. Tech types of all factions (Linux, Mac, Wintel) can fight the usual battles but at the end of the day people buying/replacing PCs will typically go with the bundled software. It's like buying a car...many of us will go to great lengths to modify, customize and/or remove items we don't like but the vast majority will exhibit the usual passive nature and take what they're given.
Microsoft knows that OEM/bundling is a key to their market position and will take the appropriate steps to protect it. It's not personal...it's just business. All the arguments about Vista are largely rehashes of the same arguments about XP. Its market share will grow too fast for some and too slow for others but it will be largely tied to new equipment sales.
These are just some of the things I've tripped over in my hardware testing. Their lack of driver support has seriously hampered things as well as far as setting up software suites and test utilities for product testing.
I've been using it for a few months. Love it and it makes me happy.
Feh. It looks even more annoying than the Fischer-Price interface XP uses by default.

I'll wait until they come out with the second Service Pack.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a somewhat urgent question that I don't want to post as a vanity, so, with sincere apologies, here goes:
How come I am getting so much Russian spam, and more importantly, how do I get rid of it permanently? (At least, I assume it is Russian because of the foreign letters used look Russian.)
Thanks again!
