| Guest | Vista versus XP Today a suggestive article in Marke****ch.com mentioned the demise of Vista operating systems. It was pointed out that this is unlikely due to the overwhelming brilliant and costly staff who developed and marketed this costly venture. I am suggesting a more practical approach to this situation. Buy Apple. The message is clear. Big business is unbending in their approach to this software. The Lemming approach is in high gear. So for the Barack Obama movement in operating software to take hold, you need the candidate. Treasure your XP (A statement I thought I would never utter) and move to the most logical system available. Apple OS is bought in quantity will send a message to the bottom line that Microsoft recognizes, shareholder value. Meanwhile to all you Vista supporters, keep up the good work, you will surely help the cause. |

| Guest | Re: Vista versus XP All Apple has to do is release the OS with the built in BIOS kludge . . . Whenever you want to understand stupidity ponder why Apple never released its OS for use outside its overpriced/underpowered boxes. |

| Guest | Re: Vista versus XP I've been running both Vista x64 and x86 (not manufactures OEM's) for over a year now with no problems. The problem lies with the manufacturers and not Vista. My brother bought a new Vista notebook about a month ago and after 2 or 3 weeks of nothing but problems he sent me an email complaining about Vista. I told him to get a copy of the real OS, as opposed to the venders install, format the hard drive and install Vista. That was a week ago and he now loves Vista. --- http://daspicer.com "Tfullertonsr" <Tfullertonsr@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4C889D33-0748-42E3-ACEA-DFDEB31FE66B@xxxxxx Quote: > Today a suggestive article in Marke****ch.com mentioned the demise of Vista > operating systems.

A license was purchased with the original PC was it > not? > > Only Microsoft could get away with that. > You go out and buy a machine with a vendor supplied and supported OS called Vista and then go out and buy another retail OS called vista. THe correct approach would be to get the supplier of the original OS to fix it as they should do. If they can't tell them to refund the machine and buy a Samsung. |

| Guest | Re: Vista versus XP I can agree with you... I have a "unmodified" version of Windows Vista and it works great. Somebody I know bought a Dell laptop and it's version of Windows Vista was a bit modified by Dell and that's created a lot of problems.... "David A.
