Problems With Vista

[D. Spencer Hines]

Yes, I decided to do precisely that about three weeks ago, unless convinced
otherwise -- or at least until SP1 -- preferably SP2.

What GOOD Things does Vista do for you that XP Pro SP2 could NOT ----
meaning non-trivial fluff, smoke and mirrors things -- i.e., substantive
improvements?

Can you come up with TEN of those?

Thanks.

'Nuff Said.

I agree, Vista offers nothing that is worth the expense, not only the cost
of Vista, but also upgrading the memory, video card and the various pograms
which run well under XP, but present a problem in Vista.

Nope.

No Sale -- just to shuffle people off to bodacious marketing boilerplate
URL's.

TEN Good Reasons to upgrade from XP Pro SP2 to VISTA -- in bullet form, like
this:

1._______________

2. _________________

3.__________________

And so forth.

No fluff, smoke and mirrors...

"Transparent Windows" is not one of the TEN.

The problem you pose is in part, while worded as if this is a simple
straightforward request, it really isn't. Face it, you control the
rules -- someone tries to respond to what on its face is a simple
request, but then you have the option (which you readily exercise) of
rejecting the response.

Ten good reasons -- someone replies with what *for them* represents a
good set of reasons and you (for your own reasons which for you might
well be quite reasonable) reject them as not being 'good' reasons.

The nature of your responses to those who have tried to reply suggests
that quite frankly, you are not *really* interested in switching to
Vista from your existing XP SP2 environment. No problem with that, (by
and large that's my own inclination at this point in time), but at a
certain point, your approach just might put folks off.
