if you ask for vista for christmas....

if you ask for vista for Christmas....

I have to warn you that it will not be Santa Claus that will be delivering
the gift,
but the Grinch!

I bet he will love to see millions of unhappy users!

Also if in your letter to Santa, you do not specify what OS you want for the
computer you ask for in the letter, according to Murphy's law (whatever can
go wrong will go wrong)
you will boot up to see Vista and not XP!

Be specific! ask for XP so you can have a merry Christmas!!!

Please by all means feel free to put a valid discussion together about
where you genuinely feel there are failings in the Window Vista
products.
Try hard not to use other unsubstantiated statements and give us your
personal absolute diatribe on Windows Vista so that we may
professionally and with appropriate measure critique it.

Re: if you ask for vista for christmas....

I don't think that is a good idea... sorry...
If I would to do it, I would have to do it very professionally, and that
would create too much controversy... I really don't want all that...

I'll stick with Santa and the grinch, thank you.

Re: if you ask for vista for christmas....

If you don't like Vista then simply uninstall it. No one is forcing you to
use it. Or is your only purpose here to Troll?

Hope this helps.

Re: if you ask for vista for christmas....

Christmas came early for me.

Windows Vista Ultimate RTM and Office 2007 Ultimate, from Microsoft for beta
testing.


Never looking back at XP again. In fact Vista is running so well, I upgraded
my XP laptop to Vista.


Heck it works even better on the laptop!
