Stolen tabs like FireFox?
Stolen quick search on the right from FireFox?

Vista will be to big for a OS. Takes to much memory etc.
Im sticking with XP then next few years.

Vista looks nice but it's way's too heavy. So I'll just stick to my retro PC's ;)

Yeah, besides. You could just get a Vista theme :P

I'm sticking with XP too.

Yeah, Firefox has been ripped off.

WinXP, you MS junkie.

I still use Win98, because some companies are still releasing games for it. I cannot actually buy any of the newer games, as they all require too much memory speed and video RAM. The other reason that I stick with Win98 is that I will never have to reactivate it.

Microsoft is the worst thing to happen in the history of computer science. They use their monopoly power to stifle innovation and perpetuate their monopoly power. They seem to believe that every computer user is required to pay them money to rent their shoddy software. Perhaps the worst thing that they have done though, is conditioned users to believe that the unreliability of Microsoft products is normal and that they shouldn't expect any better. While most of the computer industry makes do with very narrow margins, for every $11 that customers pay for MS Office, $8 is profit.

The rest of the world is slowly coming round to the idea that giving Microsoft money to develop products that they will be forced to pay to upgrade to in the future is a bad idea. More importantly, the rest of the world is coming around to the notion that if Microsoft stops supporting any of their proprietary file formats, there is no way to read old electronic documents. People are already discovering how bad digital rights management software is (It only works by preventing the owner of having full control of his computer [look up the Sony rootkit fiasco]), so we can imagine how they will feel about an operating system with inbuilt DRM. Although you will still have to purchase the hardware that you use, it will be Microsoft that decides what software runs on it, so it will be Microsoft that owns your PC.

Nancy Reagan said it best: Just say NO to Microsoft.

If you have not already guessed, I use linux and the actual install was easier than the Win98 install for my PC.

My computer will never handle this ^_^

@rlbell: Ever hear of borrow from someone. Or pi-rate pi-rate pi-rate pi-rate. We didn't pay for any of our Win OS's nor did we get Office free. This stuff was mostly borrowed.

I will not get Vista, I see no point in it, upgrade for upgrade's sake looks like to me.
Plus, though I have a very fast pc, I see ZERO reasons to slow it down even a bit for Vista. Asta la vista baby.

Javaguy 17-01-2006 03:03 PM

uh hmm
I hate the blue buttons, and personally linux GUI looks just as pretty.
dont like the price or the resource hoggingness it will undoubtably be
basicly.. I cant afford it ;)
and never will
