This is the MS documentation on the changes in the SP1 "beta" that will

Lots of changes and from what I have played with so far, lots of them
are for real.

Enjoy. Or not.

2 Fedora, 1 Ubuntu, 2 Solaris and 1 XP. Also run BSD, but inside a VM.
Vista, I use the CD as a coaster. Only MS-DOS around her is inside XP.

But why unimpressed with Ubuntu? Can't be UI learning, Vista is a big
shake-up on learn comparatively. Just out of curiosity what turned you off
of Ubuntu?

The "kit" aspect, and trying to get some support in a reasonable amount
of time from some rather snotty linux newsgroups.

Harry,
You do know your experience does not reflect that of most corporate
users, but then again, you do enjoy playing with Alpha and Beta
software, so even if you did have problems that would be part of the fun
of using Vista.

How would you know that, crap-for-brains? You have no idea of what
software I use for business, or how many different sorts of software
packages or programs I use or what sorts of file sharing or data sharing
I engage in with clients, all of whom have major computer operations.

This is another of your absolutely speculative, b.s. posts, your stock
in trade here.

Yeah, I am sure you are correct.

By the way, did I mention that Mac doubled their market share since MS
introduced Vista?

It won't be available "publicly" computer expert that you aren't.




Sorry, dummy, but it's available to the public right now, to anyone who
has vista and wants it. You have to download a couple of small files to
set up your OS, and then you can d/l SP1.

Here's the URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Reading comprehension problem?




Of course. That's why he wasted his career in the Army. Every time he

And he can't afford to move out of your house? He needs A job - a
career. Before you go on that insane rant that he likes your company,
consider the fact that other people in his age group are well on their
way to a self sufficient life. Was he home schooled, too?
