As you can read in the above article, my words exactly.. Im getting bored of
being right all the time.

As I have said before, microsoft will be forced to extend support of XP for
a very long time...

Only if they make the next version of windows (called windows 7) better than
the monstrosity called vista, will XP be retired


You read the article. You forgot to read the reader comments. It must be
a terrible burden being right all the time, huh?

People said the same thing about Windows 3.1, 95, NT 4, 98, 98 SE, 2000 and
ME.

I guess its good luck. The point remains though, no one is forcing anyone to
upgrade.

Andre, there is a category of people who have very hard time accepting any
change. They cut their own nose but do what they please.

In 3 years they will be running around with green faces looking for drivers
and envious of software that has been developed for Vista only and they
cannot use it in XP.

We must realize that times have changed, Windows XP is built on a way more
robust codebase compared to Windows 9x. So it stands the test of time more
confidently especially after years of Service Packs Windows XP has become a
mature product and a lot has been built on and for the platform.

But Vista is more fundamentally secure, and users and businesses will
require the changes in security that the platform offers making it a no
questions asked move to Vista.

You obviously are lacking in cognizant skills. My post was intended as
sarcasm and supports your position in this thread. Please post a link to
the post that this "scummy" Dave T supposedly posted. If not, STFU.

Show me a single post of yours where you offered anyone a helpful hand,
explaining how to resolve a problem, make a connection, achieve something
positive. Please, do!

There is nothing out there you have contributed to this forum except poison,
confusion, disinformation, casting doubts, spreading panic, rumor mongering
and peddling your Ubuntu, "a valuable alternative to Vista" as you've said.

I am wondering how many innocent lives out there fell victim to your
dishonest enterprise--promoting dysfunctional software over a good OS which
can enhance people's lives.

Keep in mind that USEnet is not the real world, its just a BBS.

Look, pudden-head, if you knew how to perform a search
of the Vista newsgroups, you would see many of my posts.
I will not do your work for you. Surely, you know how to
use the "Find a message" in your newsreader. I routinely
change the last few letters of my email address that's in
my headers because it's a throw away alias email address.
But, I've used ,
and a few others. Do you know how to use Google or search
Google newsgroups? If not, too bad.
Those who have been coming to this group for awhile
know the help I have given on many occasions.

I never said "a valuable alternative to Vista". Go back and
read that again, dolt.

I don't use Ubuntu. The Linux OS I do play around with
is PCLinuxOS. Otherwise, I use Vista.

Please, stop making yourself look so incredibly dumb.
