Does anyone have any solid info on whether Vista will crash if it
doesn't contact Micro$oft via the Internet occasionally?

I may have other reasons now for having a new laptop on board and you
can't get one without Vista. I also down't want to do surgery on the
battery of a new one.


Vista sucks and will for 3 more years as user/guiney pigs do all of
Billy's R&D for free, finding its flaws, security holes and testing
its STUPID copy protection schemes.

XP sales have skyrocketed since its introduction......

The day Vista came out, its first-day sales more than doubled XP's
first day sales. That was the "official" story and sounded great!

What they FAILED to mention was on Vista's first day, XP sales for
that day were 2.8 TIMES what Vista sales were....on that first
day...(c;

Dell will now supply you with a new laptop with XP installed. It would seem
they've had enough of Vista!
