531833 2007-03-11 20:03:00 I gotta say about a month ago there was a miriad of people saying on here that they arent going to buy vista cause things wouldnt work and thes uac is a pain in the ass etc etc.Now i have noticed on this site over tha last couple of weeks more and more people are buying vista so despite all the comments of people flatly refusing to use it the pressure is building and people are starting to use vista it wont be long before its bye bye xp.


In my case its through work... :eek:

531834 2007-03-12 03:01:00 I want it, but only have enough money for Home Basic, and I'm going to wait until I've upgraded my PC. pcuser42 (130)
531835 2007-03-12 03:11:00 I can get it for free...pretty much any version I would want..but I am not going to accept it anyway.

I am gonna become a curmudgeon like PJ and other curmudgeonly ones who actually would rather still be using 98 or 95 if they had their ways.

Since there's already a new M$ offering in the works...I think Vista might just be another ME.

531836 2007-03-12 11:01:00 Well, so far that's 3 who have or are about to get Vista and 1 who wants it, but won't be getting it .

Being generous, 4 out of the 255 views of this thread up to now, is hardly setting the world alight, now is it . Of course, there are probably a few that don't want to admit to wanting Vista let alone actually possessing it .

531837 2007-03-12 11:13:00 After much thought, I have definitely decided to abstain from the dubious delights of being a crash test dummy and transferring funds from one of the worlds poorer citizens to it's wealthiest one. In fact, I wont get it.
And, since I found a set of instructions on making a Vodem work with Linux, it may be that XP becomes a largely ceremonial bit of disk clutter as well. (Don't think they've got Vodems working with Vista yet.)

If it was all my way, I'd have Windows Vienna in public beta already.

It is reliably reported that someone in Petone bought a copy yesterday. However, the sale may not be enforceable as he was very drunk at the time.

Everything has changed. PC rules, remember? Everybody has become big wimps after being brought up wrapped up in cotton wool and natural selection of the toughest denied. The chickens are all coming home to roost. :rolleyes:

If you can do that you could walk to the moon in bare feet before breakfast and Vista would be good value to the buyer.
