I mean, most of us knew that we'd be waiting a long time before we took the Visa plunge because of these things, but shouldn't Micro$oft know that? Shouldn't the manufacturers? Now I need to get a new copy of XP to throw on a brand new machine in the place of Vista, and re-install it when SP2 comes out! I just never understood why beta testing didn't rule out the need for service packs...

But hey, we are all in the same boat I guess. My advice? Unless you ABSOLUTELY have to get a new machine like I did...hold off till Vienna is out, THEN switch to Vista.

"I need to get a new copy of XP to throw on a brand new machine in the place of Vista, "
ANd now XP costs more than vista, It's pretty obvious that the consumer is getting reamed"


Now more than ever, it's time to abandon Microsoft Permanantly:

LINUX = FREE !!
LINUX =STABILE !!

OPen Office = FREE

If any group in the world could survive without Bill Gates; it's the people here.
