Microsoft (hopefully) will get it this time. Fix what you have forced on the end users and stop selling new flops. Live up to your advantage by releasing real software that works on today's computers, and stop selling me beta software that needs a more powerful, more expensive computer, just to see if I like it or not. I don't want to buy a new PC just to use your beta software. This is not anger or negativity, it simply is what I am forced to live with. I swear, there is nothing worse that a arrogant geek telling me I don't like it because I don't know how to use it, when I paid my money for the only real option there is for a person needing to do business. I do not have time for an "unconventional" O.S. The bottom line is Microsoft claims to serve the business community and Vista is cryptic and unstable and more of a problem than I had before I was forced to upgrade just to grow my business (we have to buy new P.C.'s). And I am not big enough to say no to an O.S. that, I may have to have 1 year from now but might not even be supported. It sucks and I will not make excuses for Microsoft. They have the monopoly advantage and need to be held accountable for it. Vista is a slow fat flashy flop. Microsoft (hopefully) will get it this time.

It is so so so unbelievably better then Vista. And otherwise go for Linux. Couldn't agree more. Except: consider OSX as I did. It is so so so unbelievably better then Vista.

I can not tell you how many apps just do not work properly with it. Vista is garbage don't waste your time/money, stick with XP or go with a free distro of linux. Thanks for reading and good luck!
