Windows Vista: 6 hours on hold to activate
,----[ Quote ]
| Eventually, my call was ended by an unfortunate person who came in
| to my office to use my phone, didn't look before he pressed the
| button, and hung up on Microsoft.
|
| Oh, well, it?s for the better. I'm going back to Linux. Fedora Core
| 6 has no such worries. It has perfect hardware driver support too,
| so all I do is put the DVD in and it works.

Why I'm not interested in Vista.

| I had Linux running on servers here, but I needed some software that
| wasn't available on Linux. Since my second proffesion is photography I
| simply DO need Adobe Photoshop. I tried the Gimp for a while but it
| is simply not the same. So Photoshop kept me from installing Linux
| on my main workstation. But because of the insecurity of Windows XP
| it HAD to change.

| Then I got the answer: It's us. We consumers have no "WOW!" I think we
| lost our "WOW!" sometime after 98 (or was it XP?) when we realized
| that we didn?t care anymore what the computer screen looked like as
| long as the computer just worked.

This Microsoft MVP tried Vista, rejected it, and then tried Linux, which he
praised.
