So many here have no idea what they're doing or why they do it. Based
on what you just said it suggests your turn on your computer merely to
see then install any new updates.

Oh wow, I'm impressed. That's like opening the refrigerator door
slowly to see if you can confirm the light really goes out.

On June 30, Microsoft is scheduled to pull the OEM distribution plug
on Windows XP. In 30 days. That's all before the older operating
system largely disappears from new PCs. The "largely" qualifier is
because downgrade rights will still be available to some customers,
and system builders can ship PCs with XP through January 2009.

The next 30 days are crucial for anyone still wanting to easily obtain
Windows XP on new PCs. But why wait? Why not try Vista, and only
Vista, for the next 30 days? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock pioneered the
30-days concept in the movie "Supersize Me," where he only ate
McDonalds food for, you guessed it, 30 days. The concept continues in
the FX series "30 Days." I don't believe that Morgan has done a 30-day
stretch with Windows Vista, but maybe he should.

Was thinking about buying a copy of XP, but decided not to. One license per
PC is good enough, and while Vista is unsuitable for my needs, the thought
of being double dipped just ticks me off.

Very few "home" customers have the legal ability to downgrade without at
least a purchase of XP OEM of one version or another.

Clicking on above, I got the Link comparing Vista with Ubuntu, isn't Beryl
nice?

But Windows 7 is Vista regurgitated. So in fact it may be the same piece of
crap as Vista.
