    The irony of the Windows Vista delay and its release

    I just went to BestBuy to purchase Windows Vista Ultimate Full Retail
    (confusing enough?) and was pleased to find out that none of their stores in
    Canada have that in stock. It may arrive on Wednesday, February 1st. Keyword
    may!

    I have been waiting a long time for this and they can't even get their
    shipments right after all the trials and errors. It really leaves a bad taste
    in my mouth. Keep in mind I chose BestBuy because they were offering a free
    lifecam with it.

    Now I'm flexible, so I checked other stores to see if it was in stock and
    surprise, surprise; none did.

    I would just like to thank Microsoft for disappointing me as I was looking
    forward to upgrading, but I guess that'll have to wait.

    I'll tell you

    Just like any other Male, they want their toys NOW. They don't want to
    wait. I agree, it's disappointing.

    It may be an issue with the Canadian distributors.

    Does the concept of a "spoiled brat" mean anything to you?

    And you get so upset when someone insults you! You just called Barry
    McWilliams a spoiled brat.

    I guess you are too immature to take that which you like to dish out.

    He was being a spoiled brat. I merely pointed it out. If the truth
    hurts, that isn't my fault.

    My insults are few and far between. You, OTOH, can't seem to post
    without one.

    Can you access the download at Windows Marketplace? It might take a few
    hours to download but at least you would have it today. No lifecam though.

    blame MS for having the NERVE to make something that wont run on your
    pentium II

    This isn't necessarily an MS thing. Gamers have to deal with this all the
    time.. It always takes an extra day or two for product released in the
    States to get released up here.
