Throw Vista away.

On CNBC this morning, there was a segment on Vista and the guests to a
person said Vista is an unmitigated diaster and may be a sign of the
begining of the end for Microsoft as a market leader.

I saw a survey where they asked Vista users if they would prefer keeping
Vista or using the previous Windows version they were using. 90% of the
Vista users wished they could have their old OS (WinXP, Win98 etc.)

At one time, Vista's problems were writtten about and discussed in the
computer magazaines and forums, today you read about it in CNN, ABC, AP
and all of the other mainstream media.

Over 110,000 people have already signed the "Save WinXP" petition. MS
may want to put on blinders and ignore the users and try to bully their
way past all of this, but if they do, the experts on CNBC will be
correct.

SWS,

I really think

TROLL

I think it's a case of Vista working just fine for many people, you
included. But....it's hard to deny there *are* lots of problems affecting
many people. Shades of ME, could be. I don't believe all the negative
publicity Vista is receiving is published just because someone has it in for
MS, there's something to it.

I also think MS does have a business problem, investors sure do. The stock
price has been essentially level for the past 8 years. I made good money in
MSFT but when the bubble burst the party was over.

Why do you think they are so hot to buy Yahoo. Their OS and Office software
just cannot sustain growth any longer.
