NDPA you should use the report button.

It's a nice article, makes me wonder what Microsoft is still doing nowadays. What will happen if Windows Vista will be a bunch of crap? Whatever is going to happen, Windows Vista will still pay off, because they will ship it with new PC's and some noob users might buy it as well. Pretty unfair, but Microsoft has a strong position in the PC operating system market.

Sounds like a good time to start learning linux, or atleast get one of those macs that can run windows xp.

I did. But according to some people, it doesn't work. So I posted as well. I don't break the rules. If I say *Reported to mod* in my posts, it is because I used the report feature.

Hi guys,
Hey i was just checking the Windows Vista(Longhorn) information. Its true the design isnt too good and the operating system looks more like linux. But we should all have faith in Microsoft for they are the best. Its true that Linux and Unix are better than Windows in power but they are not better in User interface. I mean microsoft makes operating systems which an ordinary guy can operate. Thats the reason why 95 out 100 people know how to operate windows rather than linux. And i believe they would have made something really good since they been successful in provind the best.

    List all Problems with programs, hardware and anything else. (11)
    hi, before i get started with this ever growing list to this new OS, let me explain the terms of
    these programs not working. Windows Vista is a new High end operating system pulling high system
    resorces from your computer. The reason some of these programs may fail or plain not work at all
    may not always be the OS's fault. The bigest problem with vista is the ram and proccesor usage.

    expressing the problems of the operating system to future users. The Beta right now is....

    all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to
    XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of
    shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that
    month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for ear....
