It's not me, it's someone else.
Got a copy of Vista Ultimate today (work paid for it).
Interesting to note, prices were down on most Vista products. Vista Business was down to $199 and Vista Ultimate is down to $249.
I'll be setting up my dual boot system this weekend and installing my 8800GTX video card.
Giggity.

Dell brings back XP
Starting immediately, Dell said, it is adding XP Home and Professional as options on four Inspiron laptop models and two Dimension desktops.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Holy crap. This would be Microsoft's Playstation 3.......... if they still weren't almost guaranteed to win with Vista by slowly infiltrating the user base of the average consumers who buy their computers at Radio Shack and Best Buy and just don't know any better.
XP will lose by attrition.

A quote from Catt's linked article:
[/quote]Microsoft product manager Michael Burk said in a statement: "Dell is responding appropriately to a small minority of customers that had this specific request. But, as they have said before, the vast majority of consumers want the latest and greatest technology, and that includes Windows Vista."[quote]
Uhm...no. 95 and XP flew off shelves when they were released. The story might have been similar for 98? I know Server 2003 is getting great reviews.
But when a product is a complete mess and the developer totally lost focus from the consumer's perspective, don't sit there and tell us that we can't wait to buy your piece of shit. IT departments across the country are avoiding Vista and telling their employees to avoid Vista. The media is bashing Vista.
At what point do you think people aren't hearing the message?
PC sales must just be down because of Bush/global warming.

Hilarious.... their little "which is better?" graph doesn't let us know which one runs apps faster. And what is the purpose of an OS, again? Oh yeah, an interface for running apps.
And Vista is better because it has a weather "widget?" Last time the weather showed up on my PC it was because spyware installed itself on my system. Microsoft is now immitating that which they allowed and could not stop.
I think Microsoft is forcing Dell to hype Vista in exchange for allowing them to continue selling XP.

All new DX10-capable graphics cards are now obsolete.

So do you want to play music, or use your network at more than 10% efficiency?
Because you can't do both.
