Notice that everyone that comes in here saying that win** sucks
tells us that we should all run Linux instead? Or go back to XP?
It's easy when the people who say that have no commitment.

Yeah, XP is about done. Linux is even getting better than it
used to be as far as hardware support is concerned, Even
apple is easier, because they write one OS for one specific
type of hardware.

MS, OTOH, writes for just about everything, and everyone.
If the guys who wrote Linux had to do it all themselves, it
never would have gotten to where it is, and no one would have
supported it, much less made money packaging it for money
while the people who actually do it get nothing.

Yeah, Vista is buggy. NOT. I've had it for less than a week
and it does everything better than XP did, or Liunx when I had
that. If the people who complained about it lurked here for a
few days they might learn enough to fix the 3 or 4 settings
that were causing problems. If they were polite instead of rude
they might learn something. Something more than the manners
their momma should have taught them. This is a Microsoft
group, after all.

If you want to praise Linux, go do it in the Linux group.
Same same XP or mac. In the meantime, I can safely say that
Vista is by far the best OS MS has come out with yet. And
because it's still in it's infancy, we can expect even more.

Count me as one satisfied customer.
