OPEN LETTER to MVP's here who deny problems

I would like to say that this is a very unfair argument for Windows Vista!

Microsoft spend thosands of hours producing the operating systems, of course
there are going to be problems and things people don't like. Also you need
to take into consideration that Microsoft write for a massive hardware base
where all systems are different. Apple on the other hand build and produce
their own systems and write the software for the systems.

I can see it now, Microsoft starting to make their own hardware. Something
tells me the EU wouldn't be very happy or anyone else for that matter. Its
true though Microsoft have to look after the masses.

for me personally Windows Vista has been a pleasure to work with. Sure UAC
was slightly anoying, but its there for a reason. Ok the layout didn't make
sense, but thats called change.

Feel free to go and get a Mac, they are a great peice of kit. Just remember
though how much it can cost to repair a mac if the hardware goes wrong.
Especially if your don't have an Apple Care protection plan. Hey if my PC
goes wrong i just swap bits out!

And Linux runs on the same hardware that Windows does and will run on
hardware that can't handle the resource hungry little pig called Vista.

Microsoft only looks after one thing: the bottom line. They HATE their
customers.

It's called change for change sake, not change for the better.

Me too but I don't use Apple or Windows. I save money with Linux and all
the programs one needs to run Windows more or less safely.

IMHO, don't get a Mac - they suck.

JFYI, you can purchase retail copies of Windows 7 at a steep discount right
now *and* you can use your credit card. Paul Thurrott composed a good list
of where you can purchase copies of Windows 7 right now online. 'Natch, you
will have to wait for the release of the software, it is not generally
available yet:

[Pre-order Windows 7: Find participating online retailers in the US ]
http://community.winsupersite.com/bl...in-the-us.aspx

You are not limited to the U.S. though, in case you are not a U.S. citizen,
e.g., I bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional in Cdn. dollars from
Amazon.ca

Furthermore, if you do testing scenarios with software, you can get a
Technet subscription which gives you access to a wide range of operating
systems, servers, and business and productivity software - plus a neat
magazine with great articles on scripting - at relatively low cost - great
for developers, geeks and techs. Just visit:

[Technet - Microsoft]
http://technet.microsoft.com

As far as these bloody MVPs go, well, they're MVPs, not quite Microsoft, not
quite peers - so I can't comment, there. I do know that if you get a Technet
or MSDN subscription, the Microsoft folks are very helpful. They publish
shXtloads of stuff online and will answer your legitmate questions in
newsgroups.

You can have a lot of fun with Microsoft stuff, earn money, and be very
productive too and there's a lot of support out there. So stick to your own
business and don't get discouraged by some snoot comments by passers by.

'Have a nice week,
Saucy

Of course you failed to mention what Nissan you ended up with - but I can
only assume it was one that met your "... what I can afford, use creditcard
or whatever..."
I suspect it was hardly the equivalent of what you really wanted which was
your US convertible or the luxury Nissan.
So using your analogy it sounds like you ended up buying a Linux PC,
certainly not a Mac or a capable Windows Vista machine but one that follows
the Linux mantra of "just good enough" (so I'm sure you and "alias" will be
right at home on that one.)

Actually, most Windows programs will run in WINE but Linux has

Linux, so you wouldn't know.

I can afford Windows as you well know. Spending money foolishly is

Five years ago I came to a Chrysler Dealership to buy a Convertible - a
fancar, my first new/unused car due to midlife crisis. Carrying a great
creditcard as unlike today by creditscore was so perfect, I got 0% for a
YEAR on a whopping 10K creditline - part of which I planned to use for a
downpayment.

There was a snobbishly looking Chrysler's salesman who after an arrogant
look at my jeans & T-shirt (I often look simpler than profession or status),
uttered with a grin "you can't buy cars with a creditcard". I said I am
using it for a downpayment, not for entire amount & matter of fact if I wish
I can use all $10K towards $23K Chrysler Sebring
He again gave me a look like I am supposed to beg for Foodstamps, rather
than buying a car. His look was telling me "I got enough buyers to care for
you, we control enough market share to worry about 1 cheap customer"
I'll never forgive Chrysler for that treatment. Their dealership was
overshadowing a much smaller & democratic Nissan. As much as I wanted a
convertible which Nissan didn't have other than a luxury $40K+ unit, I
hopelessly turned around and decided to take a walk around Nissan and GO
HOME. "Forget it, I need more money" I was thinking.

The story ended up with a Nissan salesguy grabbing me by hand and almost
dragging and explaining what I can afford, use creditcard or whatever... 5
years later I am still riding that Nissan and my next car will also be a
Nissan or maybe an American to support American jobs, but NOT Chrysler. In
the following 2 years whenever I used that dealership for service, the same
salesguy recognized & talked to me to see if I can upgrade, etc; even though
it was "sales push" it was classy.

This is a lesson to you Frank/Justin/SpankeyMonkey or whoever your moron
alias is, changing daily.
By telling me "go get a Mac" you may end up like Chrysler and GM one day who
thought they're invicible. At the time Chrysler had an excellent sales
year, today I am not so sure! And if you don't quit telling "go get a Mac",
hell knows maybe people will start getting Macs because of your advise
rather than admitting Vista problems & avoiding them in Windows7.
The problem with WinExplorer forgetting views and insisting on its own
selection of columns, is a problem and NOT a minor nuissance. At least it
didn't exist in WindowsXP.
Stop defending Vista aqs it was indeed a fiasco, Windows7 is trying to undo.

You buy what you want to buy and I'll buy what I want to buy. Just
because someone opts not to buy something doesn't mean they can't afford
to buy it. Where did you learn logic? You live in the States so you need
a car. Everything I need is within walking distance and if I want to,
say, go for a drive in the country, I rent a car. You have heard of
rental cars, right? The next big health crisis (diabetes) in the USA
will originate from people being OBESE. Try walking instead of driving
and you won't get so damned FAT.

I don't smoke dope all day. That's another of your lies. I'm beginning
to think you don't know the difference between the truth and lies.

Just living in LA requires a car. I used to live there and spent a lot
time stuck in traffic. I'm glad that's over with. I also don't miss the
smog, police helicopters circling round all the time and the traffic.

I chose that lifestyle and it's just fine with me. When I get

Where I live IS a vacation spot. I'm walking distance from the beach and
can see it from my terrace. That's why I moved here, although when the
kid gets out of college, we may very well move to the Canary Islands.

I have traveled all my life, starting at age 1. Before I graduated from
High School, I had been to 16 schools in four states and three
countries. I've lived in Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, El Salvador, Laos
and now Spain. I've visited France, Panama, Italy, Thailand, Canada,
Andorra, Hawaii and Japan. I've lived in Connecticut, California, D.C.,
Maryland, Virginia, NYC, Chicago, Texas and Colorado. IOW, been there,
done that and wore out all the T-Shirts.

Alias gave up on Vista when he failed to pirate it. Back then he said he
couldn't afford to buy it. He was always ranting about WGA and how it
stopped people from pirating the operating system. God, he went on and on!

Now he earns thousands a day (right) and still can't afford to buy it!
