VISTA is nice! 1620

Oh, come on, Znu. You know better than to lie to me. I will see right through your lies every time.

1) I am NOT a "Windows fanboy". 2) I AM an "Computers and Operating Systems" advocate, NOT a Wintel OR Apple advocate. 3) I know that Microsoft has NEVER been "desperate", as you describe them. Microsoft has been continuing to make billions selling its most popular product, XP. Why should they (at least using YOUR "logic") even care whether a few customers even want something different by now. But the truth is, they DO. They spend billions of research dollars finding OUT what their customers (all of them, not just a few) want. And they incorporate those choices into their products. 4) I know that Microsoft cares enough about it's customers to offer then CHOICES, not "take it or leave it, in your face" deals, as unnamed manufacturers do. 5) I honestly admit, to anyone willing to listen, that I prefer my Intel iMac over ANY OTHER computer I have EVER owned. I ALSO admit to anyone willing to listen that the OS X desktop kind of makes me sick to my stomach, in SPITE of the great hardware platform it runs on.

Now, if you can get those 5 simple facts into your head, we will communicate much better.
