Vista I will not be buying

Uncle Joe rambled on in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

I won't be buying Vista anytime soon because
first I want and enjoy the Classic look and feel.
Want a Classic search, and a classic Microsoft
Explorer display in file name sequence. I can find
things faster in Classic mode.

If I wanted a gee-whiz GUI, I'd buy a Mac with
the latest OS. Don't need 3D glowing icons.

Secondly, my apps work fine. Really don't want
to buy new Vista-oriented software release
licenses. It makes no sense. Am not against
progress but where's the payback for me?

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.

So, what you're saying, is that you want the option to be able to
steal media if you choose and it's not the right of the OS vendor to
limit you in any way?

That's not what he's saying. What he's saying is that he trusts
himself
more than he trusts his OS vendor. It's a question of who should have
the keys to his computer, him or Microsoft. He chooses himself. I
would too.

Pitiful arguments for and against. If you are against copying - then
just don't do it! If you are for copying - then think outside the box
and buy a scan converter and split your audio out - sending that to a
standalone VCR/DVD recorder unit for about $129.00 (US) and shut up.

The folks who own the copyrights think folks are not smart enough to
realize that you can record things withou a computer - and most of
these replies talking about invasion of privacy - lack or respect -
etc. just
need to learn that nothing can be protected from copying if you think
outside the box.

cya!





I won't be buying it either but I'll probably use it.

Well, unlike you, Black Baptist, if I did decide
to go the Vista route, I'd buy the software.

"Rambling" is in the eye of the beholder. Just
stated my views on a Vista relase sans Classic
Views.

Next time remove the troll infected group from your reply.

What does that mean, Plato? What troll infected group?
I just responded to Black Baptist. Is he known to be a troll?

I doubt it since this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd post to this group in as many
yrs.

Me thinks Plato is the troll.

alt.os.windows-xp is a troll infected group. Nothing wrong in posting
there individually if you want, as there are still some legit people
left. But just delete that group from any repsonse you send from here,
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general. Most all of the trolls there are
banned from this group, so the only way they can pollute this group is
if you crosspost/respond and include that group in your response.

Sort of like trying to stop the new chicken disease from spreading

Good luck. Thanks for writing back.

Black Baptist has proven himself to be a troll.
Rather than to deal with him further, I just
killfiled him. Too bad we can't ban him in
this newsgroup, too.

I promise to look for "alt.os.windows-xp"
when planning to respond to messages.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

No one is saying you can't have access to parts of your computer. All this
means, is that Windows Vista will work well with TVs and monitors with DRM
capabilities.

If you want to use another version of Windows, or another operating system
that does not support the new hardware, you can. But if you want to "future
proof" for the newer hardware, you'd better make sure your operating system
supports this feature, or you may not be able to play DVDs or watch movies
rented online.
