Why I am dumping Nobeltec

Suggestion: stick with your Nobeltec and DUMP THE ##@&%%*)^ VISTA. I recently bought a new Dell desktop--with Vista aboard--and spent 2 days trying to get my old files transferred and everything working. Impossible. I returned the computer to Dell, admitting the problem was the OS, not the machine. But they sold me a product I could NOT use, and I said I expected a full refund. Dell, bless their weird bones, complied. We're running Maptech gear on our boat, with Windows XP. When its time to replace the onboard laptop, I'll go with a Mac if I have to in order to avoid Vista. I lay this wholly at Microsoft's feet. XP has been working fine. It is fairly stable, hence reliable. But Microsoft had to pump its profits by force feeding a new OS on the world at large. Anyone care to join my one-man boycott? What makes you think its a one-man affair???  |
