| Re: Who else is happy about Vista? OK, TruthHurts, you are becoming what you really are, an empty shell of a mindless troll drooling the same two sentence putdown again and again. It is what left-wing ideology is all about. You can't even appreciate how miserable you all look to outsiders. <thetruthhurts @homail.com> wrote in message > why is that funny? is there something about being a third generation[color=blue] > inbred village idiot that makes it so?[/color] |

Supposedly Vista is more secure than XP. But, it isn't nearly as secure as Linux is or OSX. One harmful virus getting through is enough to ruin your day and possibly force a complete reinstall of the OS with the possibility of more than just a ruined day.

| Re: Who else is happy about Vista? Well... Thank you all for you response. It took me a while to follow the thread as sometimes it seemed as if I was reading something taken from the "Let's bash Vista" or "Linux Evangelizer" groups. Don't take me wrong, but I couldn't care less if Linux is a trendy OS or even know why some of the posters say its way better than Vista... I have a few computers at home with assorted brands of different operating systems and with a couple of keystrokes I can change between them to do what I have to do, and I can say this: I DON'T LIKE LINUX! But I do like Windows Vista and see no reason to change until the newest release of the next generation OS is scheduled to be available in a couple of years (or more). Is Vista costly? No, is a piece of software well engineered that is worth every penny it costed me to acquiere a licence. Are there other cheaper OS in the market? Of course, but who cares? Ultimately, you get what you pay for... So, no, I'm not planning to use Linux for real job any time soon; I take it as the PS3 my kids play with: they're fun (just as Linux is) but not stable enough to do some serious work. Am I a loser for not using some piece of freeware? Maybe, but at least using Vista (and other Microsoft products) allows me to buy my own licences of software instead of using half-cooked software endorsed with a GNU licence. |
