Vista Support FAQ

These replies have nothing to do with the beta bits, the problem is everyone
is expected to throw away amost 10 years of working with the previous UI that
culminated with XP. I agee with the earlier post, Longhorn at least did not
mess up the UI. They could have just put the same old UI on the new code
base, I would have been less stressed about this (my third install of this
stuff) I don't have time for "toys" anymore or beta testing, some weiner's
idea of how I should work. It would have shipped 1 year ago and your stock
price would have reflected it.
