Re: Microsoft VISTA
I think maybe, just maybe, this time people wont get trapped on the upgrade bandwagon. New features are running out, or at least the useful ones. 
I forget how many but there still a huge chunk of people on Win2K and using Office '97 because they still work. Why upgrade?
Enter stage left Thermodyne ranting about new and better and lots of obscure features no non-admin would ever use.

Re: Microsoft VISTA
Vista sounds like some kind of cheap Chevy car model.

LMAO, good one!
Personally, I'll probably wait for quite a while before I buy Vista (if I ever do). Wait at least a year, probably more until they've found some of the major problems. Only some, because they'll never find them all.

Re: Microsoft VISTA
No windows product has ever lived up to the hype or what it's supposed to do. Ever. Thus you can easily say it will be awful because it will.
Hell I dislike the entire idea, you shouldn't care about the OS. What extra features, discounting security which Bill f*cked up in the first place, have been added since 95, hell since 3.1? I mean genuine 'Woot I've noticed a difference.'
FAT32, ICS that works and slightly easier networking. I'm sure there's loads of things behind the scenes, but I haven't noticed them and all they've done is slow it down. It was said a '95 game ran, like for like, at least 10% slower than it's DOS equivalent. How bad is it now do you think?

Re: Microsoft VISTA
What about ntfs? Group policy? Fast user switching? And only a fool would say that netbios/win's is better than tcp/ip and dns.

Re: Microsoft VISTA
Don't forget about a shinier interface, less crashes, and more compatability. XP is compatible with almost every program, if you take the time to tweak the compatibility settings. And there's the shiney interface... shiney interface, more shiney interfaces...

Re: Microsoft VISTA
A study was done a few years ago in the US that found that 84% of people were 'followers'. The ones the 'do what they are told'.
13.5% were found to be 'inovators' who will do what seems logical rather than what they are told.
2.5% are concidered 'Pioneers'. They are the ones that will find their own way of doing something.
Based on this, I expect that 84% of people will be out there buying WinVista immidiatly. 13.5% will wait until the bugs have been found and fixed (the major ones anyway) and 2.5% will use something other than Windows completely.
Just my 2 cents.
