I Don’t Want Microsoft Vista!
June 24th, 2008. Filed under: Tuesday's Tempting Reads.I’ve been doing all I can to avoid Microsoft Vista. My computer is trying to die and I’m working with it and babying it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a new computer with Windows XP and I don’t want to get stuck with something as flawed as Vista. I just read an article at TechCult titled “Microsoft To Bully Businesses Into Unwanted Vista.” This is a terrible way to do business. If Microsoft (or anyone else) can’t get a product to work properly, then it should not have been offered for sale in the first place. If Microsoft didn’t figure out just how bad it was prior to putting it out to sell, it should have been withdrawn as soon as the problems started multiplying. Microsoft is not on the edge of bankruptcy. There is absolutely no reason why Bill Gates cannot admit failure in this endeavor and do the honorable thing which would be to proceed on to Windows 7 and not try to shove Vista down the business owner’s throat. Read the article at TechCult. I’m too steamed to write any more about it here.

I’ve been using Vista for a while now and have zero complaints. Been “techie” since the 60s.
