Vista is a mistake on par with ME that no service pack will fix. It never should have seen the light of day. It may be hard to accept that you need to just scrap something you spent countless hours and billions of dollars on, but Microsoft should have.
Also, California designers often design things that won't work anywhere that freezes in the winter. That building looks like something from an H.P. Lovecraft story.
I guess he got in. I just got an email from him saying that he needed help getting 20 million dollars out of the country, and offered me 2 million of it for my help.
Vista asks you "Is this ok? Is that OK?" every 2 seconds. It's annoying. Unless you turn off user account control, you are not allowed to do anything. If it gets hosed up and won't boot, and it probably will for no reason you can pinpoint, you will have to kiss your data goodbye. Even if you backup your hard drive before you wipe and re-install, you will be denied access to your data because of "security". I hope you used webmail, and not Outlook or Windows Mail.
Windows Mail replaced Outlook Express, and doesn't let you show your address book in the lower left panel any more. Why? IE7 won't let you easily look through history like 6 did to see where the hell your kids have been on the net. Again, why? Media Player 11 is the most bloated resource hog I have ever seen, and it takes an eternity to to look through your library.
Vista is worse than ME, but they spent a lot of time and money making it, so they are going to try to push it on us. If it weren't as complicated as Chinese arithmetic to the average user, everyone would probably switch to Linux.
They used to market only to doctors, and should go back to that. You don't just go to a doctor and say "I would like to order some of the pills I saw on TV." Any doctor who doesn't flatly refuse such a request should lose his license to practice medicine.
Yeah! What kind of commie pinko subversive expects a for profit business that comes to your home to sell a stick of ram at cost, or for no more than the cheapest price on Froogle? Premium service is worth a premium price. The stick on the Internet for $25 probably is not compatible anyway. If you Dell Gateway, etc. has ram with a cas latency of 2 or 2.5, and you install bargain brand ram with a latency of 3, it will cause problems. The system might not even boot. Someone capable of figuring out that ram is the problem, and replacing it with the least expensive part that is compatible will not need to call a tech anyhow.
You must be new here. Everytime the dorks and dweebs in mom's basement get mod points, they use them to smack down anyone they disagree with. Moderation here stopped serving any purpose a long time ago.
Back to the topic. People affected by this "bug" are probably going to try to return the discs, then be told that there are no returns of opened software. It could get really ugly. Retailer tells customer, "Sorry sucker." Customer pitches fit. Retailer calls cops who take customer to the cornhole corral with Bubba the Bootyhole Buster for "disorderly conduct."
It will still cost you out the wazoo to upgrade from home versions of Vista to XP. Also, make sure you use XP Professional if you have a dual core CPU. They don't play nice with XP Home. Also, you don't want Media Center Edition. It is so screwy it might as well be Vista.
String theory ought to be called bong theory. They had to have been high when they came up with it.
Dude! What if the universe has like 11 or 12 dimensions, and they are all wrapped up together like little strings? (sound of bubbles in a bong)
Far out, man!
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

You only say that because you are a paid Micro$oft Shill! BSD pWns windoze! How does Steve Ballmer's dick taste?
IE only websites and web applications that need IE6 really suck if you had Vista forced on you, and you can only use 7.
How do stupid cancel or allow dialogs that people will soon ignore, and always click allow improve security? They don't.
+1. Troll, but but so funny I am laughing my ass off. That was worthy of Family Guy!

They won't care if we welcome them or not once they grow to the size of Godzilla. They will just devour us all like Cthulhu!

The UK does not have freedom of the press, and never did. Truth is not even an ironclad defense against claims of libel there.
I doubt it. I think the article was a joke, not something that is being seriously considered.

They are just nerds hoping to get some chicks to show their hoo-has for some free fapping material.

Well, that would be an improvement over Vista.

Don't assume that any money actually trickles down to the artist. It probably doesn't unless they have already paid back their advance to the label.
