How to send Ballmer Feedback about XP and Vista via email

[Usenet User]

Ballmer says MS will keep XP if there is customer feedback, but he says
he is not getting any to keep it. How to I send him or MS an email
asking them to keep selling and supporting XP? Vista (I have it and do
not use it) is a DOG and bloated resource hogging POS. XP is the
greatest OS MS ever produced and I would like to give Ballmer that
feedback.

Send him a letter.

What Steve actually means by customer feedback is not guys like you and me
with one or two computers. He's talking about giant corporate accounts,
like the college where I take language courses that has several hundred
computers in student labs and professors' offices on campus. That would be
a small one, but still on the radar. If the IT head from Fort Lewis College
was to send him a communication of some kind, going through their account
representative, now he might notice that. But your letter or email...

That's damn funny. The fat head Ballmer hides behind multiple layers
of security so it is next to impossible for Joe Average to reach him.
So of course he says tell him what your concerns are, but the reality
is you have a better change of getting a response from people like the
Pope or the president of the United States that old Stevie. At least
you would received some form letter or something. ;-)

You could write Microsoft corporate headquarters, for all the good it
will do.

Another way to "vote" for XP is to buy a new copy and not buy a copy of
Vista at the same time. Let's see how many people do that. It seems like
people at WalMart buy whatever is pre-installed and don't have any trouble
with it. Maybe they call Dell for customer support, who knows? Maybe they
don't know enough to have trouble with Vista.

MS counts on the ignorance of people..

You mean idiots like you...LOL!
If you're so smart and Vista is for ignorant people then tell us all why
you have it, huh?
This should be good...LOL!
No lying allowed!

That is also known as double dipping the consumer.

Hi 'Usenet User'

So, I take it you like XP more than Vista.
Confidentially, between you and me, so do I. I use it on my PC at home.
Never did like Vista, never will. (I know Bill is also with me on this.)

But, you know, business is business. Like Admiral Nelson, I have to
sometimes put the telescope on my blind eye and say "Enemy battleships?
What battleships?" Otherwise our shareholders would get cross.

Don't take it personally, but I have already 'plonked' your email
handle, in case you email me.

 

[Not Me]

I have waited 2 years for it to show me anything I don't already have.
Vista hasn't grown on me at all.

thats why they dared to release Vista-crapista

Nah, they just love getting you smacktard's panties in a bunch. You all are
so amusing to watch. Please keep it up. We all need a laugh.

No, if you are too stupid to due a reasonable amount of due diligence BEFORE
you make the purchase, it's your own damn fault. You pay for your mistakes.

Well I do sell IT solutions...and three multinationals said they will
NOT buy this Vista crap. They are sticking with XP. Don't know if they
are giving that feedback to MS.

Thanks, I did not realize MS did not care about the home user. Might be
time to move to Linux. They listen and from what I have heard from one
large company I work with, they are testing a linux desktop and are very
impressed. So maybe it's time to move on. If Vista is all MS can come up
with, a hog and a user burden, then that might not be a viable direction
any longer.

I know of at least one that actually put it on the login screen of a
critical business application. "We do not support the use of Vista with
this system. Please use a company imaged XP system for access."

You have to look at it from a business perspective. You can't upgrade
every system every time a patch, OS change or someone gets a new-fangled
system. Just would cost far too much. Business wants a long stable life
cycle on a OS. And the only motivator to use something new is if it
offers tangible value. Vista does not do this. In fact, Vista's
increased hardware requirements needs a whole scale replacement.

If you have 10,000 users/PCs say $3K w. software, going to be a hard sell
to float $30M upgrade in a slowing economy. That $30M could be used for
profit/bottom line or keeping a few more heads.

They care about $$$ and made a big mistake with Vista.

Linux costs nothing to try. If you don't like it, Linux left you with
your money and you change your mind and buy XP or wait until Win7, or
even reload Vista. Or better yet, load both.
