XP no more...!

Andy,

While I'm not a linuxoid (although I do have a partition of it), humor
was really all that anyone could get out of this thread. Other than
personal desire, Frank never offered any real purpose for switching over
to Vista. It wasn't a hardware decision that prompted the OS change,
nor software, nor productivity. It was only a post to pat himself on
the back. Some people need that I guess. Especially if one believes
they've really accomplished something.

I've used DOS, DesqView, Windows 3 on up, so I'm quite familiar with all
of the OS's.

Yes, "sooner or later" Windows users will most likely move to Vista.
That choice won't necessarily be their own, but MS's. First they'll
stop allowing XP to be sold on machines, and the timeline will fade from
there. But for most, there isn't any reason to move from XP to Vista,
as there isn't the benefits there were from Win9x to XP (W2K being more
of a business model lacking extensive driver support). But by then
linux and OSX (or OSXI) will be better also, and many may choose a
different direction.

And nobody will really be asking Frank anything, because he won't answer
more than one question at a time...

Prediction: IF MS removes the DRM and ineffective piracy program, Vienna
may do well and I may even buy a copy. Vista is obviously the Win Me of
NT, released as a beta on the guinea pigs that are having all kinds of
problems with it. Once its been beta tested on the public, Vienna will
be ready to roll, just like XP was with Windows Me.

This is assuming, of course, that the paying public doesn't get wise to
the MS scam. If the paying public gets wise, it will be the end of the
de facto monopoly so it's a good thing you have Linux as it's the future.

Well since you stated that I never "offered any real purpose" then how
did you come to the above conclusion?

It was only a post to pat himself on the back. Some people need that I
guess. Especially if one believes they've really accomplished something.

Really? You surmised that all by yourself? Tell me again who you
are...or who you think you are that I need justify a business decision
to you?
Again, who are you?

FYI...and this is my last comment on Vista to you...we (my small
marketing/advertising company) had been dual booting on two machines,
Vista since the 4k beta builds to determine if we could successfully
transit to it without losing productivity or causing work flow
interruptions and more importantly loss of business. That was over a
year ago.
In December '06, we went RTM and worked very long and hard with everyone
to get us up to speed and familiarize us with Vista and customize Vista
to our liking.
Finally, when every one of my associates was comfortable with using only
Vista as their OS, we dumped XP (save for one dual boot box).

Now you claimed to be an IT. Small companies like mine don't have IT's.
IT's don't care about small companies like ours...there's no $'s in it
for IT's.
I told you before, MS will gladly assist you or any IT for that matter,
in preparing and presenting a tailored case study (with all the bells
and whistles) that will assist you in your job as an IT who is planning
on doing a Vista roll out.

I am still of the opinion that Frank owes no one an explanation for
switching over. It's his business and the business of his company.

Maybe the Microsoft rep gave them 500 copies at $10.00 per copy to do
so. Who knows. Who cares. It is none of my business.

I agree, he doesn't owe an explanation. But conversely, why would he
bother to inform this ng about the switch? Did he think no one would
care about his reasons? It seems arguable that when someone brings info
of interest to a ng, one might expect questions about the info. Ymmv,
and probably does.

I couldn't agree more. But when someone puts a post out there like
Frank did and then evades questions asked, you have to wonder, what was
the point then?

Richard, if you're going to top post, at least stop using the sig
delimiter, because any good newsreader strips everything below it and
relevant material gets removed also.

"Who are you? Who are you?" You sound like a child Frank! So you
bounce in here and write about your new toy and it bothers you that
someone asks you about it! Then maybe you shouldn't have posted at all
Frank, especially in light of your drooling answers.

Who am I? Just someone who read about you and asked a few questions.
It's like when someone gets a new car, you ask, "How do YOU like it?" or
"What prompted you to buy THIS brand/model?" I ask questions to get
opinions, and all you did was get defensive.

And small companies do use IT consultants. We have quite a few clients
who are individuals such as attorney's or contractors, and service them
as needed, without monthly contracts.

I'm glad you're done.

You pecker head (that's a personal insult just FYI).
Your post turned into a demand coupled with a threat.
Now tell me again exactly who you are cause so far you've come across as
nothing more than an insulting, MS hating linux loser.
Or did I miss something?
I'm sure you'd never present yourself in such a manner face-to-face!
Or maybe you are that ignorant and stupid.

Okay Mister Name Caller (as you have so lowly resorted to), WHERE did I
DEMAND or THREATEN? SHOW ME! YOU only have balls to call names hiding
behind your computer! I would act and speak EXACTLY this way to YOUR

enough to call me this to my face? I doubt it. And I'd be willing to
meet up just to see...but now you're hiding again...

You're pathetic.

1. So who's the liar? You said you PLONKED me. Yet you replied to me.
So you have proven that YOU are a liar. The proof is here for all to
see. Are you going to try and deny it?

2. You cuss at me calling ME a liar, but you can't prove me wrong by
showing me where I "demanded" or "threatened", because I didn't. You
snip to your liking but leave out relevant parts that make up a reply.

3. I have never even raised the tone of my replies, but you act like a
child calling me names. I've called you out to say this to my face and
YOU are saying I'm threatened you? No, I'm challenging you. Put up or
shut up.

4. This is the epitome of Frank's postings: "You're an as*hole! Keep
posting and prove my point." I suppose that's your equivalent to
PLONKING, eh? Trying to be manipulative? Didn't work.

After this childish reply, you're even more pathetic.

You may threaten me if you like but I have no fear of you're stupid weak

I know the true meaning of fear. I've lived it, felt it, endured and
survived it. You're nothing more than pretender, a real wannabe. You're

Prove it. And yes Frank, by all means, have everyone in the ng prove it
also, since you know all of them so well. Heck, just get one of them to.

Oh, so now you think you know my physical appearance (and that would be

I don't believe someone who is a businessman responds the way you do.
You can't carry on a civil conversation at all, only resort to your
childish cussing and name calling.

Funny how someone who has been killfiled by you still gets your drivel.
Please do what you said you were going to do and plonk me, if you have
any idea what it means.

You're just Justin 20 years later. No self-control at all.

Well Terry...(if that's your real name?), it's starting to appear that
you're cyber stalking me. You're not doing that are you?
That's a crime you know.
You do have a real problem with me since I refused to answer your
original demands don't you?
I guess that really pissed you off huh?
You're not really an IT are you?
You don't have any clients to service as an IT do you? Maybe a few
friends (like you said before) who can't figure out how to use Vista so
they ask you for help but you yourself can't figure out how to use it.
That's a problem for you isn't it?
You're just some creep who hates others who successfully use Vista in
the business world or even for personal use, right?
And that's the real truth, isn't it?
Come on, be a real man and own up to it!
You're one angry person that's for darn sure.
My advice, get a real life. If you can't figure out how to use Vista
keep XP or go to linux...I couldn't possibly care less what you do.
But be careful about the stalking thing.
