All Vista, all day! We have completely switch over to Vista Ultimate 32
& 64 bit for our daily production work and have completely removed XP
Pro from all (except one) of our boxes.
We want to thank everyone at Microsoft and in this ng for helping us
resolve a few initial glitches which we encountered months ago and with
developing such smooth, powerful and exciting new OS.
Thanks to all!

Frank,

Please tell us all how that has made everyone more productive. I would
really like to know.

"Wow" doesn't factor into productivity, and most likely lowers it as the
users spend too much time messing with settings trying to do something
new. Even when they finally finish screwing around with everything,
they go back to reading and writing email, working in documents and
spreadsheets, doing research on the internet and possibly database work.

I'm eager to await the stats that the company put together in figuring
out how Vista was going to increase productivity versus ROI.

This is/was a dream [nightmare] isn't/wasn't it? I need SP1 badly. Gladly I
have a mirror image of XP saved on a DVD.

This was a planned move. We've been using Vista in parallel with XP
since December '06. It is a move to the future as XP is being fazed out.
Only thur general daily production use could we determine the
effectiveness of Vista and any problems we might encounter using it.
Everyone is now up to speed and production has not suffered at all as
compared to XP.
You have a misconception that our moving to Vista was only feasible if
there was some absolute, immediate gain. That's not how we perceived the
process.
Our move also has to do with our volume license.
It was very beneficial, in more ways than one, for us to migrate to Vista.
We are very happy with the outcome!

Fanboy (definition):
Fanboy is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the
feminine version fangirl may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to
a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject,
often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal
to their particular obsession, disregarding any factors that differ from
their point of view. Fanboys are also typically aggressive and hateful
towards the opposing brand or competition of their obsession regardless of
its merits or achievements.

Fanboys are attributed with a sycophantic devotion to the creators and
principles behind a work with which they are currently enthralled, but will
quickly move their attention elsewhere once something better or just newer
comes along. Fanboys are noted for a very emotional attachment to their
chosen subject, often taking negative remarks about it as a personal attack.
They will readily engage in debates, but will fall back on emotional
responses and personal attacks. For example, a "fanboy" may go out of their
way to point out negative and often untrue statements about their
obsession's rivals, regardless of whether or not they are right; this is
commonly known as FUD.

ergo, Frank is a fanboy.
...not to mention a troll

Oh, I see, no real productivity gains, just spending lots of money to do
the same thing, because XP is being "phased out".

And just how was it "beneficial", if it wasn't in productivity?

All righty then, want to buy some land in Kansas?

You're more than welcome! It's been very nice to be of help you and helping
you decide to run your SpamBots on Vista rather than on XP. You've
obviously made a significant contribution to the American consumer society,
now that you've upgraded the hardware on those boxes. You've also
contributed to the personal wealth of some of the richest men in the world,
which is a good thing. One can never be too wealthy. You are indeed a
patriot and we all thank you for having made the switch to this "exciting
new OS".

Love and Kisses,
Doris

What's your problem? We're happy! You're not happy that we're happy?
Are you just an unhappy person?

BTW, that land you got stuck with in Kansas my advice is to hold on to it.
It may be worth something in the future.

Frank,

If you're happy for spending a lot of money for no productivity gains,
no ROI and no beneficial gains, I'm happy for you...

Oh, I see. Vista just poofed itself onto all the workstations with no
human intervention. Now THAT is "Wow".

Congrats! Now MS can metaphorically bend you over the table at any time
and violate your privacy/personal space/dignity. For your sake I hope
they use extra KY.

Well goodie goodie for you Frank. However, you stated EVERYONE AT MICROSOFT
for helping us resolve a few initial gilitches. No one was holding my hand
and fixing my INITIAL GLITCHES! If you want an extra copy of Vista, I Posted
mine on Ebay for .50 cents. It's not even worth that much in my opinion.

What a schrub you are Frank. Of course Microsoft is going to hold your hand
and kiss your check book to. You have an enterpise license. I'm an
independent that purchases a single user license from BUY.COM. Microsoft
could give two s#its about me.

Well in my opinion, I didn't spend a lot of money for no productivity
gain. I like to move things forward before I'm forced to move them
forward. Instant gratification has nothing to do with long term planning.

It did? Amazing...then why did I and my associates put in all those

Now THAT is "Wow".

I guess it is!
