Vista Free Day

If you are not happy with Vista, lets have a Vista free day.

Vista free day is simple. Wednesday April 2nd, make sure your Vista PC is
powered off all day. Shut it down on Tuesday, and power it back on
Thursday.

If enough people do it, MS might notice and allow use free downgrades. It
would actually be quite simple for MS to allow Vista keys to work with a
downgrade copy of XP. And better yet, allow us to download it at no charge
instead of double dipping us.

Join me on turning my Vista off for a day.

Pass this along...

As soon as you turn it off on Tuesday go take a course on Vista or read a
book... Vista for dummies... something easy like that. Once you get a bit
of a handle on it you will find Vista is quite nice and it will probably
become your favorite.

I doubt MS would know or care if vista PCs are on or off.

How would Microsoft even know that you turned your pc on or not?

Vista should be permanently turned off. Not just for one day. Francis will
tell you ...

To quote Frank:

The truth...Vista is just a piece of crap.
Simple huh?

Cheers.

Just think, if you don't post for a week, we will have a Canuck57 free week
without these irritating posts. Join me in wishing for a Canuck57 free
week!

Yeah you're right old man. Ubuntu is just a piece of crap and you proly
have an infected computer and don't even know it. You're just an
ignorant old man and one big lying POS linux troll.
Pathetic!

I think I will turn on all of my Vista machines, plus I will install several
Vista VMs in Virtual PC. I'll see how many I can get running!

Well, you see, the tinfoil hat brigade believes that Big Bad Microsoft KNOWS
EVERYTHING YOU DO. It's CONFIRMED! OMFG!

What's stopping you from having a Canuck57-free life?

What's da matta Billy? Can't control your own actions? Has someone tied
you down and is forcing you to read his posts?
