| | Vista Won't End Windows XP Availability http://www.microsoft-watch.com/conte...ilability.html Kevin Bailey, an IT manager from Bowling Green, Ky., said, after experiencing technical support problems following a Windows Vista upgrade, "Microsoft isn't ready for the general release." LOL its not only him.. its actually every IT person who knows enough about computers knows tha vista is a piece of junk. Vista will never be ready because its designed badly.... just like windows Me, there was not much you could do about it.. you just formatted and installed win98SE. Vista cannot be fixed even with Service packs.. why? Because the gui is designed badly and some concepts cannot be undone. XP will live long... and continue selling more than vista, as my prediction has been vista will create problems with Microsoft....and will cause MS to lose tons of money. |

MSIE 7: 30.7% MSIE 6: 41% Firefox 2: 7.7% Firefox 1.x: 5.8% Those are numbers for this month from a non-Microsoft related forum which has clocked up 1.5 million hits.

LOL! Not good statistics. In Europe, the use of Fire Fox is over 40%. Course, in JesusLand (aka USA), where all the sheep live, it's to be expected that most users would think that IE is the only browser. We can only hope to educate. Alias |

Pulease! > You just > throw 40% out there like the typical left wing emotional crap that > SuicideBombingLand (aka Europe) is known for... Unlike the USA, both Spain and the UK *caught* the terrorists. So far, the USA has caught no one involved in 9/11 and went after a country that had nothing to do with it and, in the process, has murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. How right wing can you get and still live with yourself? > and say "not good > statistics". Dwarf calling the midget short. I don't really care if you believe me or not. I don't book mark web sites to prove anything to you or anyone else. If you are really interested, spend your time researching it instead of lamely insulting the messenger, me.
