You know, it completely p*sses me off that Richard come on here and acts
as though everyone is supposed to know that there are incompatibility
issues with Microsoft regarding certain software. How are we, the people
who pay Microsoft's salary, supposed to know ahead of time that there
are incompatibility issues? This is the sort of thing that makes me
completely want to say screw Microsoft, now I completely understand
those Mac commercials whenever he says "It won't have the same problems
Windows XP has, trust me." It seems like every computer I've ever worked
on that runs on Microsoft is just a ticking time bomb waiting for
something to screw up somewhere down the line. If you want to act as
though everyone knows there are incompatibilities do us all a favor and
get on here and list every single product that is incompatible with
Windows Vista. THEN you can sit here and act like everyone is stupid for
installing products incompatible with Windows. Now what do you have to
say about that? All I have left to say is I personally think this is
just another way for Microsoft to screw people out of money. PEACE IM
OUT! Oh wait, if you have a problem with me speaking my personal opinion
go ahead and get upset but it will not change the way I feel.
