Morons that rant about new versions of Windoze
 

MS has about some version of it's os on about 90% of all the personal computers. That is hundreds of millions of installations. There will always be people that have some combination of hardward and other software that ms did not anticipate and will cause the operation system to do something wrong.

At the same time lots of organizations will delay implementing a new ms operating system. It generally has a lot more to do with their technical staff being familiar with the new software or their in house applications not being ready for the new os than problems. Though some will complain about the problems in the new os as well.

That is not a new phenomenon. It has been happening since windows 3.1. As every version has matured the problems have declined. Simply because of the sheer volume of installations problems get more press that the other os'. For everyone with a problem there are 10s of thousands that have no problems at all. Vista is close to reaching the 100 million install mark. Obviously it is not a crisis.

It is to a couple of posters here who don't use it. :)

I spent about an hour this past weekend reading about some of the
problems *some* Apple users are having with the latest release of OS X,
aka Leopard. Some Apple folk are having some serious issues. My guess is
that if Apple had the same sized user base for its operating systems as
Microsoft does, and if those Apple users were similar to Windows users,
the number and seriousness of problems would be similar.

If memory serves, I read where Apple has under 5% market share of
desktop PC operating systems.

This used to be a boater newsgroup. There's no requirement that posters
here have any knowledge of a computer OS or in fact have a boat. We have
plenty of boatless posters here who also present as too slow to use a
computer, too.

I wonder who started the discussion on how GREAT Vista was? Ohhhh yeah,
now I remember, it was Harry Krause. You are just upset because most
people don't think it offers any advantages over WinXP, but definitely
has a ton of bugs that MS has not been worked out. Univ. of Penn IT
dept. does not recommend Vista and does not recommend Vista SP1.

ZDNet conducted a survey and 80% of the IT depts. said they had will NOT
be updating to Vista, and they will continue using the same OS they
currently are using.

Got some posts of mine in which I claimed VISTA was *GREAT*. I upgrade
to it, found it fairly problem free, and it hasn't caused me any serious
problems since, far fewer problems in number or seriousness than I had
with XP Pro or Win2k.

VISTA is pretty good, but obviously it requires more mental ability to
use properly than you have.

Why do you have a problem with what OS another person may be using?




Because he doesn't like me or your son, *and* he is in no position to
discuss boats.

Are you saying that you have more mental ability than all of the Penn
State IT department, Microsoft programmers, several tens of thousands
of other users, and Norton specialists?
