His statement? Vista is a joke. Virtually no one is using it in the
business world, and no one is planning to migrate. If you have a
certain type of site license, you can continue to downgrade your new

what all his client companies are doing.

Uh-huh.

You know, Harry, he may be right. Business has always been slower
picking up on a new OS. Migration and training costs sometimes keep them
with an older OS until there is a reason to upgrade, either needed
hardware replacement, or something in the newer software is needed. I
know you like Vista, and, frankly, I've never used it, but sell me. What
am I missing out on by not using Vista? What does it do, that couldn't
be done with XP?

If you are happy with XP, there is no reason to upgrade. I had some
problems with a couple of software suites under XP. Those problems
disappeared with VISTA. Also, 32-bit VISTA addresses more memory than
32-bit XP. The security is a little tougher with VISTA. There are lists
of reasons to upgrade out there. If what's on those lists is unimportant
to you, then stay with what you have.

I find the phrase "...no one is using it in the business world..."
laughable b.s.

Meanwhile, the next MS OS beta looks mighty interesting. :)

And I still run XP *and* VISTA on my Macbook. But if I have a problem,
I'm sure "Reggie the Computer Expert" can provide the needed technical
support, if he can google it up.
