OT: VISTA

[Atrocities]

Ok, who here is going to go buy this latest MS product? Can your PC even run this bloated POS OS? Is it a POS OS? Is is being sold in a buggy state, or as Microsoft claims, "the most tested peace of software they have ever released."

Is it worth paying $400.00 for? Is is not worth paying $400.00 for? Do we really need it? With Win2k and XP only a few years old, why should we even bother buying Vista?

Given Microsoft's glorious history, would you trust this bit of software on your PC or will you wait until SP 2 comes out?

I am a mixed bag. First I don't think its going to be easy to upgrade, secondly I doubt my computer will run it, and its only 3 years old, and thirdly, I ain't going to pay $400.00 for a bit of software from a company that has a dubious history of releasing crap OS software onto the market, resulting in crashed PC's lost data, and headacks all the while telling people that they upgrade at their own risk.

Nor do I want to run out and buy a new PC just because HP and other have retrofitted some old 2002 junker, gave it a new case, and are now marketing these antiques as Vista Capable ready to use PC's, knowing full well the 99% of them are returned broken, half *** fixed 2002 junkers.

No thanks, I will wait for Vista SP2 or SP3 before risking my data to another Microsaft product upgrade.
