Huh!? XP is klunky and wastes resources. Puppy Linux works better for
most routine tasks.

Yes, but Vista takes the cake as the worst piece of crap to come out of
Richmond yet. I'm surprised noone's taken them to court yet for selling a
clearly unfinished product as anything but a beta.

I work with Windows all day. That's why we have a Mac at home.

That's funny. I have three computers running on Vista utilizing them playing
music, movies, word processing, document saving, and about every application
you can use. No problems here just as long as you really know what you are
doing. Maybe its not the software causing the problem but the user not
knowing how to properly operate the computer.

Back when I built my first computer, DOS, Windows 3.1. 386-16 16 MB Ram.
It would do a lot of neat things "Just as long as you really knew what
you were doing". Like writing batch files to load and unload conflicting
TSR's from memory etc. Here we are 22 years later, and you still have to
be some kind of "wizard" to keep Windows working.

I'm running a 1.5 gHz Via C7D WalMart box that cost $200. It does all
of the above and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Agree..

Vista Loses almost every performance benchmark,

re Vista:

- Story I heard was

thet the guy at Microsoft in charge of Vista

Said it was ready to ship.

AND THEN he immediately went to Yahoo, with a

Thirty Million Dollar Signing Bonus..

-Windows XP does the job here

and Ubuntu GG is on the other partition

IF Microsoft had a new OS that was worthy of purchase
'd get one

Until then Its XP & Linux
