Stuck with Windows Vista ? ? Upgrade to XP Pro for $100
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've bought a brand new computer lately, you probably got stuck
| with Vista. By now you've noticed that NONE of your favorite software
| works with it, and that the built-in security will make you crazy. If
| you want a real operating system that works, bring it by, and we'll
| upgrade you to Windows XP Pro for only $100 ! ! !

This guy could get quite a bit of business, based on the number of people who
bought Vista (or a new Vista-loaded PC) and then switched to XP or upgraded
to Linux.

| 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."

Vista: I'm still waiting for the "WOW" to start

| This past week, after two months of regular use on my desktop

| overall system performance and considerable frustration with the
| new "more intuitive" UI, I finally found the fix for Windows Vista more
| usable - downgrade to Windows XP.
