90% of IT Professionals Don't Want Vista
A survey by King Research has found that Ninety percent of IT professionals have concerns using Vista, with compatibility, stability and cost being their key reasons.
Interestingly, forty four percent of companies surveyed are considering switching to non-Windows operating systems, and nine percent of those have already started moving to their selected alternative.
"The concerns about Vista specified by participants were overwhelmingly related to stability. Stability in general was frequently cited, as well as compatibility with the business software that would need to run on Vista," said Diane Hagglund of King Research.
90% of fish like it better in the water than out.
I may be prejudiced, but I have a hard time taking somebody seriously as an IT professional when they have a disk partition just for porn.
DO NOT WANT !
In Soviet Russia, our new overlords are belong to all your base.
...I would give the Wine Project (http://www.winehq.org/) all the money they need. Then we could say, "Debian GNU/Linux: Runs Windows applications better than Windows does". My philanthropic contribution to mankind would be better than Bill Gates', because people wouldn't have to die in hospital any more just because the flaky hospital computer crashed again.
How can you work with technology WITHOUT swearing?
Democrats or Republicans. They are both taking us to the same place and they are not afraid of us anymore.
I don't know any good IT professionals without a pr0n partition. But I do know plenty of bad ones.
If the latest Crysis Demo has anything to say about it, there goes one of your "Pros."

Expert or not, I will not be using Google Sexchange before it's out of beta.
"Anything was better than trying to make ME work. NT4 wasn't really an option because of missing USB drivers, etc. (Microsoft was deliberately using things like lack of USB to help force the upgrade from NT4 to XP)."
Ha, when I was in the military we used that to screw with the new data guys, we would go and tell them to install that USB printer on that Windows NT machine over there... and then watch about 80% of them try for about 30 minutes to get it to work.
Off topic, but it reminds me of when I worked for facilities at an MLB stadium. We used to tell the newbies to go find the key to the batter's box. About 80% spent an hour or more trying to find it. Hilarious.
Scientists now say the future will be far more futuristic than originally believed
Sorry, I am unavailable right now. I am playing a computer game that requires full-screen mode, and will have only limited access to email. If this issue is urgent, please contact: notmyboss.
Thanks!
I came across a few PC vs. Mac ads bashing Vista's low adoption rate and people were downgrading to WinXP. I guess Vista complainers is no longer geek-only, but rather mainstream now since Apple's advertising it?
