I've gone back and forth between a dozen major OSes over the years (35 of 'em... years that is)
> My brother runs his own PC support company, and he really REALLY dislikes Vista. I have been working with him one night a week to learn more about PC’s, and haven’t worked with it much yet myself.
When I got around to dealing with it myself earlier this year, I was reminded of the old John Kennedy quote, "When we got into office, what shocked us was that things really were as bad as we'd been saying they were!"
> At work, our hospital has had to disappoint some employees who purchased new laptops or desktops for home use, only to find they had to buy a copy of Windows XP if they wanted to connect to work via Cisco VPN, since the VIsta version had not been released and validated Enterprise-wide.
Yep, same here. Cisco VPNs and all...
> I have no working opinion about Vista yet, but only know what I have heard from others.
Some folks say they like it. I say, it's eye candy at a huge cost in performance and usability.
> OTOH...I did enjoy slapping together the Photoshop Windows graphic...we can all joke about it.
It's GREAT!
> I get a decent amount of ribbing about being a Mac guy, but my organization does tolerate them and will help when it can. They usually just have them call me...:)
Yeah, we're almost entirely a Windows and Unix shop, but there are a couple of us using Macs as working machines and more on the way. Me, I'm neutral -- I use whatever I find does the job best, and they all have their pluses and minuses.
Yep!
