As most of you know, (maybe you don't) but Windows Vista was released today. I for one think there is no difference, actually in a somewhat old conversation with TTC, that the Vista icons look somewhat like the OSX icons. IMO the Vista is just flash and nothing more. Hell i'd rather switch to MAC before Vista.

I don't use windows, nor do I like windows. The linux operating system is much better i think. Windows is slower too, (at least for me). anyway, what exactly is windows vista?

Windows once again went on a mac idea stealing rampage, nothing new there considering the idea of a window itself wasn't theirs. The funniest one is how they stole the whole dashboard widgets for vista. But god I hope their search engine is improved like they're stating. The one thing that drove me nuts when on friends computers and stuff. Searching served no function what so ever as it took 8 minutes to find one file. You were better off guessing.

last i heard, the database oriented search engine had been removed from the release because they couldn't get it working. (this was about two weeks ago).

In other words it's utter crap still. Therefore no reason to update. Stick with linux or mac people. :-)

I've hated Windows since Version 3.1!
I hate using a mouse and still use a keyboard for darn near everything!
I hate the fact that I need windows to program for windows and to keep that outside work I've found!
I may be forced to use it, but I will never like it!
MAC is better, Linux too... but the web seems to demand windows, and if I want to keep supporting myself I need the extra work.
So I use windows.
But I Hate it!
Lots of Hate today.
That's OK, I still have and Love my Tandy 1,000!!
AND my TI-90!!
And without my old Apple II-C I could never play my Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy game ever again (Best Dang Computer Game EVER!).

demand creates supply... demand creates supply.
basically, so long as people continue to buy windows to play games or whatever, instead of demanding it be put on their platform (and not buying it until they do) companies won't produce for other platforms.
first rule of economics.

Ves: I think the problem with that is the human nature to think: "I'm only one person, what can I do?", when in reality, you probably arent the only person thinking that way. So, I'm guessing if everyone took action, instead of thinking that, yeah, it'd kick off, I think. But then again, I'm only one person  |
