I am friends with tech shop owners -- clearly they spend most of |
| 9 |
their time fixing windoze pcs -- and this is surprisingly common. |

People really got burned on the vista thing. |

Frankly, vista looks a lot like osX in my opinion. It has desktop |
| 13 |
widget things like a clock and calendar, lots of destop candy -- you |
| 14 |
can get many the same results with compiz-fusion or whatever the kids |
| 15 |
are running nowadays. Aside from having crummy driver support (perhaps |
| 16 |
now windoze-users will see what the linux people have been complaining |
| 17 |
about concerning manufacturer driver support). I know of a few people |
| 18 |
that have even become linux converts after their vista experience. |

the happy fact of the matter is that vista is strongly disliked by |
| 21 |
consumers. off the top of my head, I cant think of any savvy users |
| 22 |
that have it on their computers. |
