| 530666 | 2007-03-06 21:13:00 | bloody apple seem to release a new OS every 12-18 months, nobody forces you to buy anyway. Just think when MS releases there next OS everyone will be having the same conversation about why you shouldn't install it. like what it is happening here on the this forum about Vista | plod (107) | ||
| 530667 | 2007-03-06 21:20:00 | Some may feel deprived just because they don't have vista. It could even be possible to feel you have been slightly misled if you do have it. Neither situation is life threatening. I wonder why the OS should be more highly regarded than the applications, when it is the OS that busts existing applications and makes otherwise satisfactory hardware unusable. Still, it's only money. And Bill really needs it, really. |

| 530668 | 2007-03-06 21:24:00 | Given the delays in getting Vista to the shelves, is anyone taking a declared date of 2009 seriously? | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 530669 | 2007-03-06 21:48:00 | Given the delays in getting Vista to the shelves, is anyone taking a declared date of 2009 seriously? Yes, especially if they are going to re-write lots of the old code (which sounds a good idea to me) and to offer all the features they promised for Longhorn ! I mean it takes them over a year from the time they release the first beta's ! I think it was a misprint - was it meant to be 2019 ? sounds more realstic ! Regards Digby |

| 530670 | 2007-03-07 00:49:00 | Apple don't release a "new OS" every year. They produce a new version of a developing OS which is being incrementally improved. This is how to get better software. Apple's original Mac OS went through a process of refinement and improvement. The new OS X started from a body of reliable Unix code which has have an even longer process of improvement. Starting from scratch every few years with "millions of lines of new code" is the road to disaster. New code produces new bugs. New code written to behave like old code often reproduces the old, known, and previously fixed, bugs (as well as having its own new bugs) because the specification hasn't been revised to match the fixed code which it allegedly defines. |

| 530672 | 2007-03-07 03:47:00 | I plan to use Vista again sometime this year or early next year, and will continue to use it until 1-2 years release of Vienna. Well, probably anyway. What's with Microsoft and their Vs now anyway? |

| 530675 | 2007-03-07 07:11:00 | Yes, before any major product is released the developers are thinking and working on what they want to introduce next. i understand that they've been working on vienna for a while now, making vista simply a money-grab I mean even if someone gave me a free copy I would not install it on my fairlyl new and powerful machine because of what I have heard about it. It would be great to see M$ squirm and realise that they cannot con us with pretty visual interface upgrades. i absolutely agree |
