Why Does Vista Suck? (Update: Yes, I Use Firefox, But ....)

| I should also point out that their Outlook 2003 doesn't work very well with
| the system, either. I added the Microsoft Exchange Server account in the
| initial set-up wizard when I installed my copy of Office 2003, and it won't
| connect properly to the account. Thanks to that issue, it won't run at all
| now, and even de-installing it and re-installing it won't eliminate the
| problem. The de-installation doesn't remove the account information, as it
| turns out.

| Just FYI, I have been using Microsoft systems since CPM DOS on the Apple IIe,
| and used to build my own computers from scratch until it got so cheap to buy
| pre-constructed systems about ten years ago. I worked as a net admin for a
| Fortune 100 company for a few years as a second hat during my call-center
| days. I'm not exactly a novice at this. I'm figuring that this will be my
| last Microsoft based system ever. The low price simply isn't worth the hassle
| any longer.

That is a sign of semi-baked products. This is a placeholder, right?
Is this one real?

Microsoft, Listen to the People
,----[ Quote ]
| How much should Microsoft listen to its shareholders? After all, they own the
| company.
|
| got to asking that question, after listening to last week's annual
| shareholders meeting. I hadn't listened to a meeting for a couple years and
| expected to hear the usual complaints about share price. But there were
| surprising calls for Microsoft to be more morally responsible and to take
| ethical leadership.

| Microsoft had launched Windows Vista with big hopes of switching most of the

| however there have been indications like Steve “Sounds of Silence” Ballmer
