This is not news. If anyone asks me if it's a good idea to upgrade to Vista and Office 2007, they get a resounding NO from me.
Nothing but problems, but I'm sure they'll tell me that I have no idea what I'm doing. Funny how my machines don't crash like theirs do.....
The classic BFH. Bigger the better.
It's messy, but quite satisfying on a stressful day. Seems to me that an enterprising tech could sell drive destruction time by the minute for those working in Dilbert-esque situations. Line 'em up and take 'em out.
Reminds me of the printer/fax beat-down scene from "Office Space."
I agree. I recently bought new laptops and I ordered them specifically with XP. I have no use for Vista. It's a resource hog with superfluous eye candy I don't use or need. If I couldn't have ordered them with XP, I would have wiped them and put XP on them anyway.
I'm no Windoze fanboy, but I use it because it does what I need it to do, and I don't have time for the learning curve for Linux. Yet. That day gets closer and closer, though, with new releases of Linux.

Go Small Business. I bought 3 new Dell laptops with XP installed. Entry level, yes, but they work just fine.
