Vista is CRAP... pure and simple. I tested it in alpha and beta, and when
that was done, all of my computers went back to XP.

In my office, we have 7 computers on a peer to peer network... all running
XP except one that was replaced recently, and came with Vista on it. That
vista computer is CONSTANTLY having problems accessing shares on the
network, such as a printer at another workstation. If you print during one
of these episodes, the thing runs like an old 286 for about 5 minutes until
it finally gives up, displaying an error message. Rebooting usually cures it
for a time. That system will get XP when I have some time to do it.

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,

Harry,
I guess if that just shows if you push Vista at the OEM side, that even a
dog like Vista can get out in the Marketplace. While the number of
copies of Vista is double that of XP, did you read that there were more
than double the number of computers sold?

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.

What did you think of Vista doubling the market share of Macs, now that is
REALLY impressive.
