I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. I was a Vista beta tester, and
when it was over, I was back to XP. They invited me for the SP1 beta, and I
said no thanks.

We recently replaced an aging machine at my office, and of course it came
with vista. After about a month of it falling off the network, which by the
way froze the computer if it was accessing a network share, as well as other
less critical, but annoying problems, I douched it and put on XP Pro. Not a
problem since.

Maybe SP1 will help, but I've already heard very good things about SP3 for
XP... hmmm.

I love the comments at the end of the article:

1 What the article misses is the real reason that piracy is down 50% from
Windows XP levels, which is that NOBODY WANTS VISTA.. How ironic that by
writing code that nobody wants, they have less people stealing it. Perhaps
they should concentrate on development in other areas....

I'm pretty sure the "Yugo" automobile had a pretty low theft rate as
well...


2 I moved to Linux when 30 gig was not enough to run Windows XP. What
took 26 gig within Windows now takes less than 4. I am 100% MS free and
loving every minute of it.
