So your going to be one of the first Lemmings to jump off the cliff. And what makes you such an expert on saying free stuff is crap?? Sound like M$..	paulw (1826)
482079	2006-09-05 01:51:00	Actually I read PCtek's comment to mean the Windows XP features were crap, not the freebies	KiwiTT_NZ (233)
482080	2006-09-05 01:56:00	But Metla, its not the average home user wanting to upgrade that makes all the sales. Its companies. Akld Uni is going to install it, they are going to have to get new PCs but they are almost at the end of their 3 yrs anyway so they don'tt care. A lot of other big businesses will too. And it will become the O/S when you buy a new Dell, Compaq, etc. Thats how it gets out to begin with, regardless of whether the rest of us avoid it. Look how prevalent XP is now.... And MS will encourage it by not supporting it, drivers will become harder to find for newer hardware etc.... Not sure I agree with you there PCTek. As far as I know, our 400+ workstations on our WAN will not be upgraded to Vista. I think any company that jumps on board is crazy unless they run a test environment with all their server apps connecting successfully to the client workstation. Auckland Uni....LOL It will be Jo Public who buys Vista 1st.	SolMiester (139)

One of the lemmings that gets pushed off. DX10 won't matter just yet, but sooner or later it will. And sooner or later there wqon't be driver support. Like I said thats hwy I now have XP - no 98 drivers for my board....:-( And yes I did mean the MS bundled rubbish, not the replacements. My point - MS trying to make people use this crap by bundling it and then claiming windows needs it to run. If their products are so great then they wouldn't need to resort this sort of thing....:badpc:	pctek (84)

Myth. I only installed XP last year on my PC - fixed plenty of them before that. Does a mechanic need to own a particular type of car to be able to do repairs?	pctek (84)
