No problem. This is all about discourse. Where would we be if we couldn’t express ourselves? Besides, I appreciate passion. It shows you give a darn.

Thanks for the welcome. I’m sure we’ll have much to discuss.

And good luck with MacOS/X – I didn’t mean for my post to sound so harsh, I am just tired of hearing the same worn and tired comments made by people who typically are just regurgitating what they see others write. Welcome to wordpress by the way

Whyamistilltyping,

Thank you for your comment. However I managed software engineering at Gateway 2000 and Zenith Data Systems for many years. As such I collaborated with Microsoft on testing the readiness of their new operating systems. So you see I have both the experience and technical knowledge to form a personal opinion on the subject. However, I recognize we are all entitled to an opinion.

Good luck with Vista. I’m sticking with Mac OS/X.

Oh dear! Posts like this frankly make me laugh as they perpetuate the same Vista saber rattling that all the so called IT ‘in crowd’ do. The funny thing is, whenever I talk to someone who is anti-Vista and dig a little deeper into why they are of that opininon, the vast majority had neither the technical knowledge nor the experience to back up their claims.

Do yourself a favour, do some reading (start here – http://whyamistilltyping.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/vista-bashing-cheap-traffic/) and try Vista for yourself, the only downside is you may like it (shocked in-take of breath.) Otherwise you will continue these ignorant posts and someone somewhere might have the misfortune of listening to you.
