Vista I will not be buying

I apologize for the rant.

http://snipurl.com/hbl7

I have made my decision

Vista I will not be buying.

No one is not going to tell me. I can't have access to a part of the
computer or the hard drive. Imagine if a virus, spyware or adaware
got into that protected area and a virus program could not clean it.

I'm Sticking with xp & windows 98se forever.

If I have to get a new computer it will be either mac or linux system.

LOL! The software piracy rate was much higher in 1994 than it was in
2000 before MS implimented its copy-protection, PA. I don't seem to
remember that MS was anywhere close to bankruptcy!

Hello, Thanks for the information.
Certain people do not understand the erosion of basic rights. No matter what
they state they "just don't get it".
Microsoft may have future problems but not with file sharing or copying in
the U.S. or Europe. Their problem will be with China, India and Google.
take care.

MS is not the only one that's going to have a problem with China. Due to
the fact that we have now taught the Chinese how to build everything for us,
and we have a huge trade imbalance to show for that, not to mention their
already huge and very rapidly growing military strength, and their coziness
with Russia of late, my thoughts are that we should all be more concerned
about our own tails, and not worry so much about microsoft's behind.

Why worry MarcusD? As long as you're strong and you're not a trouble maker
in this world, who's going to come for you?

Like it or not, Microsoft will have a way to make you switch over. Thats just my opinion.

What are they going to do to make you turn off xp? I don't think they
could legally do that and then even said if xp activation is no longer
supported they would have a patch.

I would like to see them try to force Mac, Linux users to use windows
Vista.

I could use Forte Agent on a Linux system using winE

I think you misunderstood my statement. What I meant when I said that is they will make all their new programs only work under Vista. A perfect comparison would be like 98 and XP. Sure you can run 98 but most of the programs or games out there are based on XP, the newest OS. I am not saying that they will deactivate XP. All I am saying is that people will still use XP, however, don't blame Microsoft if they continue and continue to move away from XP in favor of Vista. Hope that make things clearer.

Hopefully, people will become smarter and insist that Vista not be on their
new computer. With all this you are guilty of piracy until you prove
differently twice crap has made me decide that the next computer I buy will
be a MAC.

I hope apple does not start this. There already are mad(Maybe)
because the new version of apple os can be installed on Intel system
with a tweak.

The reason I said maybe they are mad. Maybe that is what apple wanted
to have an excuse to come into the software market and compete against
Microsoft.

You are still NOT getting my point. All I am SAYING is that Microsoft will support Vista more than XP once they release it. I did not ever in my post say that XP will dissappear once Vista is released. I am saying that Microsoft will most likely favor Vista more because it is the NEWER operating system. So stop correcting me.
