I was right about Vista all along...

I know someone else pasted this link before but I love to see it again! LOL
Is it just perhaps that this guy is saying the exact things I have been
saying for the last 15 months, yet I have been attacked by vista fanatics
and dumb MVP's for?
And again is it perhaps that if I was right those stupid naysayers were
WRONG?
YOU BET YA! For those who dont know, I am the user formally known as

Conventional wisdom seems to be that existing Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)
customers won't leapfrog Windows Vista and wait for "Windows Seven,"
currently expected in 2010. There's a feeling of inevitability about the
transition, as if it's just a question of when to write the checks to
Microsoft and do the tedious work of switching operating systems. Yet as
Vista celebrates its first birthday, the chances are increasing that many
users will never see it on their desktops.
Vista has certainly been slow out of the gate. Sure, Microsoft is putting
the operating system on newly shipped systems, but Vista sales didn't
benefit from the upgrade surge that previous OSes got upon release. A year
after it began shipping, less than one percent of corporate desktops are
running Vista.

Financial issues could also work against Vista adoption during 2008. The
sub-prime mortgage meltdown may foreshadow a recession; at minimum, the
financial services industry is certain to scale back its computing needs.
Even companies that budgeted a Vista upgrade in 2008 may reconsider the
decision if the economy turns sour.

There's no doubt that XP is the current king of Windows, and it will stay
that way for a while. Microsoft's XP support continues through the end of
2011. Microsoft is set to deliver XP Service Pack 3 in the first half of
2008. It's not set to be as revolutionary as Service Pack 2, so it shouldn't
be as tough to deploy, but SP3 includes more than just a bunch of security
patches that are already available. After many years of tweaking, tuning,
and training, XP is finally living up to the slogan Microsoft coined: "It
just works."

Given the slow adoption of Vista, an uncertain economy, and customer
contentment with XP, it's becoming a safe bet that Microsoft's XP support
will not end in 2011. Too many critical customers will be running XP in 2011
for Microsoft to even consider dropping what they call Extended Support,
which includes security patches. There's even a precedent: Windows 98.
Support for that OS was originally supposed to end in January 2004, but
Microsoft announced that they would continue support until June 2006.

If history replays itself, Microsoft will wait until the absolute last
minute to announce that XP support will be extended. In the case of Windows
98, the announcement was made just weeks before support was to expire. If
customers know that XP is safe for years to come, they'll have even fewer
reasons to upgrade to Vista, and that list is already too short for
Microsoft's comfort.

Frank you do not understand.. (why doesn't this surprise me???)

Big names and companies cant go out bashing MS openly like this!
Why? Can you say lawsuit for giving a "bad name" to vista?

They don't have the balls to stand up and say vista is crap...
although you should be totally sure that behind the doors THAT'S EXACTLY
what they are saying!

So what is left? Only a few independent thinkers who are free to express
themselves can go out
and say things as they are..

BUT THIS WILL CHANGE... Here is another prediction so listen carefully...

"In 2008 the negative comments about vista will spread so much that it will
be common knowledge that vista is crap and should be avoided, and then even
the BIG BOYS will come out and express their hatred towards the worse OS
ever made: Vista"

You will see this coming true Frank in 2008.. things are going to be very
hard on your beloved crap OS.

And with good reason... there was a lot of stupid stuff built in to vista..
and MS tried to deceive people with the WOW campaign.

(now of course they have pulled everything they had with the WOW campaign,
because it was ridiculous.. the only WOW you could say was
WOW Vista is CRAP!)

Can you describe how many installations of Vista your company has
and what the systems that host it are used for?

My personal experience is that very few organizations have moved
even partially to vista yet. That's probably skewed by the environments
I work in, where getting any particular software configuration certified
for production use is expensive enough that you tend to stick with the
one you have as long as possible.

Apologists or escapists on any sides of the party aren't particularly
interesting. If people don't nail down with precision exactly the problems
that are being run into, you're really risking letting marketplace badness
fester. Regardless of who succeeds or wins, that's just a bad experience
for users.

I want the Apple experience to be great, I want the *IX experience to be
great, I want the Windows experience to be great, I want the Be experience
to Be great.

You and I can't accomplish our grand Everything Just Works Awesomely utopia
without people slogging through and weeding out any and all badness that's
out there. Even if you want to throw the baby out with the bathwater (re:
Vista), does escapism simply let irresponsible vendors continue badness
until it causes problems yet again in any "Windows 7" timeframe? I think it
does.

I think you need to identify the specific Microsoft failures, but you've
also got to have third parties holding up their end of the bargain.
Otherwise, that same badness could potentially infest any new Favoured
Platform.

I think Application Verifier and other interesting tools coming out of
Microsoft should really benefit the Windows ecosystem, which potentially has
ripple effects throughout the computer world as developers can identify and
fix their bad behavior so that it doesn't plague other systems/development
work. SourceForge/BugZilla are pretty cool too so long as you don't end up
with much-referenced abandonware (FFDShow vs FFDShow Tryouts, for very
notable example).

I think it's easy for people to take a loud proud stand on their opinions,
but it's when you nail things down to the technical specifics that it gets
interesting and can improve the world.

Re: "My Company"(Laugh out loud). Had to put full words for you!

Business Company: you have NONE; you are a dero!

Company of friends: you have NO friends.

You are the most uneducated, unhelpful, foul-mouthed cockhead I have seen in
these Newsgroups.

LOL! And you expect credibility? MOST companies are avoiding Vista like
the plague.
