Vista for Numbers not Content[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#2)

Obviously we will hear a lot about Vista and Microsoft in the coming weeks. All of which will help Microsoft as far as advertising, better negative press than none. Obviously Microsoft shipped out Vista before it was ready. Obviously intentionally, they can afford it with 95% desktop market. Obviously the idea is to get it out before Christmas in order to spur interest and get people ready to buy. Like all other OS Microsoft came out with before, it won't run great on current systems and it is geared for newer systems customers will be forced into. Obviously drivers won't work well, and Office will have problems also. In the end, it's the way Microsoft has always operated, not on quality software but helping the industry by churning out bloated OS that current system cannot fully support, which makes people buy newer systems. Brilliant and expensive for users! It's sad to see how we completely sold out to Microsoft. I know I stopped the maddening cycle and went over to Apple. And guess what, when I install Tiger on my 10.3.9 machine it actually works faster and better! Now that is a good system.
