Then they bitch if they think MS is rushing to meet a deadline. It's so cool and now to bash MS around. It sells ads and gets a lot of page hits. But it's not like you guys at RTN are sticking your necks out when you do what every other lapdog of a blogger is doing. Just shut up and wait. Or don't wait. Stick with XP. Switch to OSX or Linux. But just please quit this. Gord Ok so people rag on MS for postponing Vista’s release. Then they bitch if they think MS is rushing to meet a deadline.

The problem with OS X is you are really limited to the hardware you can run it on unless you want to jump through hoops and run some hacked up piece of crap on PC hardware or you buy one of those overpriced blobby white all in one plastic thingies that the style limited think are the aces. More and more I'm just booting into Linux for my day to day computer needs. Just installed Suse 10.1. I'm not an anti-Mac zealot, but just someone that likes the idea of having real quality hardware and control over every piece that goes into the box. I like the thinnest most minimal display I can get which pretty much leaves out parking one of those big thick Mac monstrosities on my desktop. HAHA…Vista SP1 is probably 3 years away….at least.

I'd be shocked if larger corperations are going to jump to Vista as soon as it's released. (If it remains on it's current schedule.) Personally, I'm going to stay far away from it once/if it's actually released. In fact, Vista is so dissapointing, OS X is starting to look REALLY good now a days.
