Come on Pennywise, you can't be this naive. Do you think Windows_7 was not
in the works long ago? Vista has nothing to do with Windows_7 being
developed and released.

Little early don't you think, I mean vista just came out.

Window 7 to prevent vista mistakes

Really, besides the sites that get paid for glowing vista reviews,
have you read anything good about it?

Well, 95 Came out in (ahem..) 96, 98 got it right, then there was 98SE
and then in 2000 Millenium. Not much difference that I see.

And create whole new ones helped by rich kids with all the time in the
world and no motivation to do anything worthwhile.

Hey, I Wanted CPM/80!

Reviews are a dime a dozen and everyone has got one. I go by my on
experience, I set my own path, and I have been doing it all of my career in
IT, which spans over 30 years. I use Vista, I like it, and I don't have any
problems in doing so. I am not one that will get lead by the nose, because I
read someone else's opinion.

It's no secret.

Well...no. Find new links. Windows 7 is a ways out yet.


I hated Vista at first but after installing SP1 and adding another gig of
RAM, I find I like it very well.

Vista needs good hardware and a lot of RAM. Give it that and it's a
perfectly fine OS.

and it was a long-running joke about the name. I came out the following
year, still in the winter.

Yeah right. They still think a defrag actually helps speed up a
computer, as this group shows.

That's human nature for you. Once you decide you want something...you *need*
it *now*.

One day, after I had lived in my house for 8 years I noticed for the first
time that in the bathroom,
there was *no* light fixture. Just a bare bulb!

I drove over to the local hardware store at once to get one!

They were out of the size I needed and I was told to come back in a few
days.


Were they crazy!!! There is No way that could wait.
I drove to another hardware store and got one!


As to Win95...my girlfriend bought her first computer soon after win95 came
out.
Four years later I got my first computer. The one she bought previously!

That's never been disputed; the more money you throw at vista the
better it behaves.

I don't remember the date, but I HAD to have Win 3.1 and bought it first
night. Brought it home, tried to install it and found out M$ wrote 3.1
expressly to NOT run on DRDOS 6. Called M$ support and was told that
DRDOS was "just a DOS emulator"...

Put it back in the box and couldn't get my money back as I had opened
the damned packaging. 2 weeks later Digital Research came out with the
infamous "Business Patch" that ran 3.1 just fine..

I've been toying with the idea of building up a (now slow) 2 ghz box
with 256 megs of RAM and DRDOS 6/WFW 3.11 and seeing how fast a
solitaire win would run....

I did it just recently.

A friend wanted a box to play some of his old DOS games and simulators
that he hadn't been able to play for years.

It all went together pretty well with bits from my junk box. Intel
motherboard with both ISA and PCI slots. Soundblaster 16 card, 3d
Voodo ISA video card, a whopping 2 gig hard drive and 128 meg ram with a
1 gig CPU, and running MSDOS 6.2/WFW 3.11

I had forgotten just how quick a half reasonable machine was booting
into DOS/Windows.
