Because it's better than Vista: smaller, faster, hard drive friendly, "inexpensive," and user-friendly. And more. XP is fine too, and so is Vista, but Vista can get tripped up too easily. Seeing as "Robb Pierce" has not answered since the 2nd and seeing as none of us know the name, perchance he is just a troll?? Considering that Trolls are, largely, indistinguishable from random rants, I would concur. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |

Notwithstanding that at your age you probably don't feel like waiting maybe
another year, but if you've just got Vista, Harry, you might like to return it while you still can. I mean, they ought to give Vista owners a free upgrade to Windows 7 (Johnny's brother) when it comes out, but dollars to donuts you'll pay as much through the nose as economics allow at the time (end of the year, maybe). And give me donuts any day of the week. Spelt 'doughnuts'.

Hope you've had a nice transition into the new year, Shane, even though the
outlook isn't good at all. This german billionaire lost 4 of his 13 billion and killed himself, does that make sense? Where 'Vista' is concerned, it came with the PC and cost me virtually nothing. I've got everything working smoothly now and find the system 'enjoyable'. I wish you and everyone else here a wonderful New Year. Harry. "Arturo" wrote in message ...

Funny, that, Figgs. Are they as bad, or worse? They're clearly the same
sad clowns - or the same type, you know, absolutely have to have the latest version and believe every single word attributable to Microsoft (and the Government, the Police, the Armed Forces, Rich People etc etc) and derive an almost sexual thrill from abusing and accusing perfect strangers of theft and heresy based on a lack of evidence that slaps you in the face like an interlude of silence in the midst of a screaming lunatic asylum? Are they the same people, their illness more progressed, or are they different people, but the phenomena picking up as the world becomes that much more dependent on the microchip? I'm just glad I don't have to come to such groups for help, I can figure it out myself or figure out how to find it on Google - because to me ten minutes of reading that group is like entering a great barn full of braying sheep, and sheep don't deserve the comparison, but the unfortunate mixed metaphor must stand because it's like they're asses, but not even good asses. They're sheep trying to pass themselves off as asses. They can't even do that. The best they can pass is a little wind. In a fair world, sheep would have a class action running against the Vista group. Shane "Heather" wrote in message ... Are they worse than the XP ones??

I'm in one of them already, Joan and so far, so good.
When you talk to Noel, please, give him my best. And the best of new years to you. Harry. P.S.: Using my WinME, because Vista is much slower.
