| Chris, I fully sympathize with your frustration with Windows. I have

| suggest you go to linspire.com and test Linspire and its CNR...

| Jim,

| Congratulations! Seriously. I'm glad that you finally got Windows

| working on releasing SP1 by the end of this year.

Vista Will Double Apple's Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| Remember how you felt when you saw "The Phantom Menace" for the first time?
| I was overwhelmingly disappointed. That's exactly how Windows Vista RC1
| makes me feel, and that's not very likely to change between now and when
| the OS goes gold. Before now, there wasn't a viable "Google" or "Firefox"
| for the Windows platform. Between Apple's Boot Camp and Parallels, you're
| going to have to make a strong argument to keep people from finally
| making the switch. And you wanna know the worst part of this
| entire situation?
|
| Microsoft, in each and every instance, has been its own worst enemy.

Vista backlash grows; key advocate moves back to XP
,----[ Quote ]
| Chris Pirillo just broke up with Windows Vista, saying, "The shipping
| version of this OS is late beta, at best."
|
| Jason Busch did the same: "It's an absolute travesty that
| Microsoft would have released such a half-baked product."
