Microsoft Responds to DOT Ban on Vista, Office, IE

roscoetoon writes "From the blog of Mary Jo Foley: What's Microsoft's response to the DOT's charges? A corporate spokeswoman sent this statement, via e-mail: (caution: microbrain double-speak ahead) ... "We respect the customer's decision. As with any of our other Federal customers, it's our job to help DOT maximize the value of its Enterprise Agreement through the adoption of our technology. We are engaged with large, strategic customers across government at every level, and are working closely with them on these products through their participation in our Technical Adoption Programs.""

Aww, look, Microsoft Marketting people do read Slashdot...

When Dual core Xeon 5130 machines with 3gb of ram cant get a higher than a 3.1 Vista rating, (at MS's own launch day event), I dont a Pentium M with 1gb is running any better.

And yes, I was at the Launch event for Vista and tested it out on 10 different machines provided and everyone one of them dragged.

Unfortunately for M$ they got a little to tightly bound with the republicans and now well, a democratic congress certainly wont be doing them any favours no matter how much M$ is willing to pay them.

Although I suppose it wont stop the last of the pseudo Christian lobbyist from trying to sign up 10 year supply contracts with M$ while they still can.
