Is this the year linux overtakes MS and Apple on the desktop? :)

Not likely to overtake this year, but they are making steady progress
and are crimping MS margins on the retail.

Windows 7 is regurgitated Vista, as the "Vista" brand makes Edsel look
good. They would SP3 the thing but for two reasons, first they get to
bilk users more to upgrade to sell a new version and second, they
realized Vista has severe issues that a mere service pack cannot fix.

For surfing/mail users, it works. But likely no impending reason to
upgrade. Vista is fragile if you push it hard, but most users don't
so it floats as a low end system.


What do you mean by it "is fragile if you push it hard"?

I pushed VISTA pretty damned hard on my desktop, what with running a DVD
burn, light photo work, word processing, and email simultaneously, and
sometimes tossing in a download for good measure. Sometimes sending or
receiving emails slowed a bit during a download, but that had little to
do with VISTA and more to do with the shortcomings of my 'net connect.

Certainly VISTA has its detractors, and some of the complaints about it
are valid, but most of what I read is nothing more than smoke beling
blown up the alley, or whining from near-virgin computer users who don't
know what they are doing and hope the OS won't notice, either .

If you say so it *must* be true, WAFA.

Man, I gotta say that he's a multitasking phenom! WAFA! Does this douchebag
actually think that *anyone* except donny believes *anything* he types? Poor
*******... I'd actually feel sorry for him if he wasn't such AFA. LOL

If we're lucky, those union "village people" will give him what he seems to
crave so much....

I'm just here now to watch him squirm for a while, and talk to himself. This
is gonna be fun. Maybe we should sell tickets?

Do they still make that. Probably do, there's one born ever minute.
Someone gave me one once. I hung it over the shower head piping so
that it dangled three inches from the soapdish, and figured why
bother. Its like they used to say about cocaine. A sign you have too
much money.

I can remember someone giving me one as a Chrismas present about 40 years
ago.
Being young & naive at the time...I actually took it to the YMCA to use
after my weight training workouts.
I soon clued in and dumped the thing.
