[RICHARD ZASTROW]

This computer is on XP. My real computer is on 95.

[dave@eew]

Vista not yet up to speed with all of the drivers. Lot's of software will not run on the new platform... Be-ware

Vista sucks tramps toes in hell.

My original post had paraphrased the CEO of General Motors comments about Microsoft (inretaliation against Microsoft slating GM)- Being an engineer, I determined to discover the original quote. Here you go... If you don't nod at at least one of these then you have never used Microsoft product


"In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating (by Mr Welch himself, The GM CEO): If GM had developed
technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the
following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to
buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason,
and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn, would cause
your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would
have to reinstall the engine.

5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought
"Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable,
five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run
on five per cent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be
replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.

10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out
and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the
door handle, turned the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of
Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they
neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option
would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or
more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the
Justice Department.

12. Everytime GM introduced a new model car buyers would have to learn
how to drive all over again because none of the controls would
operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine."

Enjoy

Waiting is a good idea - remember the start of XP?

[Kipper]

XP until I'm "forced" to upgrade

[NC_jimbo]

GM management vx MS management

A pox on both their houses.

[cnczoner]

So what about us 2000 users? I stick with Win2k SP2 because it's the most stable so far, and that's all I want. Don't want dancing paperclips, nor the ability to access my PC from the moon -- just plain reliability/stability.

XP is my first O/S so it will be difficult to switch. Not only will the switch be difficult but the Vista O/S has too many problems as far as Graphics Interface and being the Biggest Resource Hog On The Planet besides Humans. AKA PROCESSOR and RAM EATER!!!!!!!

I'm sure that Vista will get better over time but I'll wait until more people are using it.

You don't have a category for me. When the person who controls our network tells me we are going to change to whatever I meekly so okay and sign the check.
