Consumer Group Demands XP for Vista Victims

thefickler writes "Dissatisfaction with Windows Vista seems to be swelling, with the Dutch Consumers' Union (Consumentenbond) asking Microsoft to supply unhappy Vista users with a free copy of Windows XP. Not surprisingly, Microsoft refused. This prompted Consumentenbond to advise consumers to ask for XP, rather than Vista, when buying a new computer."

Since the eye candy is off-loaded to the GPU it doesn't take CPU time, so it is officially safe to ignore the rest of your post as ill-informed.

so we have your permission then eh ?

On "(You have my permission to ignore anybody who talks about "the horrible DRM in Vista" as a raving loon.)".

good golly ! thank you for giving that permission, as the regulatory board of "talking about ups and downs of software committee".

but you gotta maybe give a heads up to the informations branch of your committee, since apparently they have been rather lax in informing you that the "horrible DRM in Vista" has been proved to suck up shitload of computer resources, numerous times to boot.

i dont know whomever modded you insightful but s/he shouldnt get ahold of those points again.
