Despite underwhelming consumers and being snubbed by enterprises,
Windows Vista's numbers keep growing, with Microsoft Corp. saying
Thursday that it has now shipped *88 million copies* of the
operating
system, almost double the number of copies of XP in the same
amount of
time at its launch.
The 88 million figure mostly includes Vista-installed PCs bought by
consumers and small businesses,
JimH purchased Vista thinking it was great and the first thing he
wanted
to do is figure out a way to tweak it so it wouldn't run so
slow. It
just goes to show you PT Barnum was correct.
Hey dummy, I did not purchase Vista. I purchased a laptop with
Vista for
my son.

BTW: Why are you so concerned about what decisions other people make?
What business is it of yours Jim Gallow, I mean Reggie? You are a
regular
busybody.

Jimh, if you don't want comments about the decisions you make, why
do you
continue to tell us all your decisions?
If you recall John, my question on Vista was to Harry. The dumb and
dumber twins then got into the picture and the thread went downhill
from there.

What other "decisions" have I told you about and asked you to comment
on John.

Gosh, maybe you didn't know that you could email Harry if you want
something to be just between the two of you.

This is what shows up in the header, but it may be a fake. Although, I
don't think Harry would do that because he frowns on it.

That's right. That email address works just fine. I don't check it
often, but it does work.

Harry,
How is that any different than just not using a real email address? I
recommend you send JimH your email so he can send you questions directly.

You do know ISP use the individual IP's to verify who sent a post or
email. They really don't care about the email address listed in the
newsreader. Some people who think they really know computers have been
caught when they try to create a sock pocket and forgot that the IP
would remain the same as the one they normally use.
