Why NOT to use Vista
so then go hang out in the xp newsgroups, or linux, or osx and convince
yourself time doesn't go by and you're better off clinging to the past. It's a vista world in 2 days. you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Why NOT to use Vista
Roy - even two years sounds a tad optimistic; more like 3 or 4.
But yeah, sure, Microsoft wants that to happen NOW so they can start recuperating their R&D $$$ spend on putting Vista together ... "Roy Coorne" wrote: deValmont wrote: .... It's a vista world in 2 days. you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. .... In 2 years - not days! rOy

Why NOT to use Vista
Vista is just one part of the Longhorn project.. the fact that some Longhorn
features are not present in Vista does not necessarily imply that the features are dead.. Lonhghorn server is still very much alive.. "Roy Coorne" wrote in message ...

All software gets updated at some point.. why should Microsoft not be
allowed? "ozziaj" wrote in message ... ... and Microsoft is already talking about the need for Service Pack 1 - lol ... slated for 3rd quarter this year ... anyone holding his/her breath??

Why NOT to use Vista
Well, doesn't it strike you as a tad odd? Vista, touted as THE
must-have-or-else OS per se, has hardly been released, and MS is already calling for SP1 beta testers. Sure, better earlier than later (or never); but this is REAL early, isn't it?! So, perhaps it IS better to wait with shelling out for Vista until SP1 has been tried, tested and released to us general mortals ... Oh, BTW, did I say MS is NOT allowed to upgrade? Can't seem to see/remember that one. Perhaps your interpretation of my 1½ cents worth was a bit short-sighted ...
