&lt;p&gt;80% of all clients in home, home biz and small biz absolutly despise vista.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, how long has t been out ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To this date, how many fortune 500 companies have yet to roll out ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are facing massive shortfalls on propper drivers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even Nvidisa, is not recognizing Vista in heir auto driver search.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that 64bit is being sold, it is even worse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UAC, which is nervwrecking to the EU, is now more than ever popping up bcause softwware developers and hardware sppliers are fetting sck and tred of paying for &amp;nbsp;code fees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now again a new version and if you tell me this s even sagfer, i tell you , DEAD WRONG.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Online leasing of apps is so dangerous, we sare going to see a massve increase of stolen property individual data and identity theft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As is, TAX returns are send va satelte t be prepped i india ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have to tell you, the overall opinion on the floor s, that outsourced support will not be condoned anmore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People are sick and tred of not being able o understand foreigners, that read some instruction book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heck, the normal EU knows more than he average Rajid by now due to desperation and anxiety to hang on the phone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It isnt the culture, it&amp;#39;s tjhe language barrier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also every friend, cousin brother and je smoh is fondlng with machines wthout propper knowledge by now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are plainly focusing on Major Corperations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you even survive if yo had no &amp;nbsp;private sales ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is only a question of ime before an OS comes out that can andle installs alike Windows, the development of compatibilty &amp;nbsp;application wise is already there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ONLY reason Microsof is still nmber one by a long shot is because it holds a huge money bag.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To my knowledgr, every majr corperation has at least one Linux machine integrated and we are seeng mre apples now again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have fr YEARS participated in RC feedback, how long did it take you guys to let us issue drivers via USV instead of Floppy despite Floppies not even being used fr how many yeas ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try 10 +&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Such a minor issue had a HUGE sour taste.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Linux provided generics from the get go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking at Knoppix, they got everything one needs rnning from CD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Than, Microsoft buys &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Winternals and leaves us ALL hanging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank god for a Ger,an Company!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Backup ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Joke right ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank god for a Russian Company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Defragging ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank god fr te third party Vendors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shame on the invluded junk AV programs tat come wt the brand name pc&amp;#39;s, ever tech with some knowledge rips them out first thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Win 2000 once drivers were okay was by far the fastest OS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;XP was the fasest and only EU GUI usable system after we played &amp;nbsp;Russian Roulette wit WinME.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now I use Vista 64 and ere also a cnflicting statistic n te &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost every three days &amp;nbsp;n te last month a high prority update.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So te percentage is down the drain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I likeVista mself, but man, how many services d we really need ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anybody besides the coders really know what all those services are for ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No wonder the new pc&amp;#39;s are now selling with dual cores, quads and minmum 2-4 gig of ram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How come i can run an Apple G$ on 256 to this date Vers 10.4 ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How come i can run Linux from DVD 4 Gigs from within memory ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, I wonder truly how many people will go to 7............can&amp;#39;t wait t hear all the cres all ver again, we won&amp;#39;t buy a new PC , we cannot afford t upgrade all software yet again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Time to open up and let the tech guys in the field get prepped guys, we have got to know what we are looking at.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am telling you, the real world is fnancially in no sape to upgrade!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite al tat, &amp;nbsp;Happy Nrw &amp;nbsp;Year and all the best success n coding , it&amp;#39;s the clent like me that allows you to exist financially.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have been a Windows user for 10 years. I recently bought a mid-grade MacBook and it blows Vista out of the water (my friend has one), the start up time for my MacBook is 30 seconds max, Windows Vista was at least 2 mins. I had no issues paying a little more for a much better machine and I had very little trouble getting used to Mac OS's format. Oh, and my battery life is 5 hours plus using MS Office and Safari (an internet browser), and oh yeah, there is no need to worry about viruses or adware. The only thing I need to update is the MS Office programs. If you do not play video games ( I will admit, the video card is only 144MB integrated, but the LED screen is better than LCD), then the MacBook is better than any Winbox. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't know why I didn't own a Mac sooner. &lt;/p&gt;

To ensure continued supply of XP-loaded machines, two weeks ago (Aug. 14) I ordered 15 volume licenses for Vista Business but promptly downgraded all to XP Professional. All my staff are happy to keep XP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We're a small department with a peer to peer XP network and self-supporting in IT. Vista was just too problematic getting the networking, shared printing and product activation to work properly. XP SP2 installed fine with our VLK on our new machines and just works great, without fiddling and faffing and activating etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We plan to keep XP as long as we can because it works, plain and simple.&lt;/p&gt;

Never needed to look at anything else, Windows tended to do what I needed and who really cares about the OS when all you're doing is tapping out code in a text editor anyway? PHP doesn't care all that much. Perl doesn't care all that much, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then I bought Vista Business in February of 2006. I had some older hardware, ran some experiments to see what I could do with it, then let the license sit for a year. I knew I needed better hardware, so no big deal, happy to wait and see when I got something better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bought a new laptop in June of last year that came with VHP, and was excited to try it out. Tried to upgrade using the Vista Business license that cost me $200, but the 'upgrade path' wasn't there to go from home premium to business. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still no problem, I scrubbed and installed from the license and download by itself, and voila, Vista Business. Added 2 more gig of RAM (total of 4), and started playing around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;23 years I was on Microsoft products. Steady. Solid. Never used anything else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vista made me a Linux User. The horrible support, the constant pop ups, the miserable ways in which critical subsystems were compromised for eye candy, the slow downs, outright crashes, the painful way the window manager would crash when looked at sideways, the whole system needs one thing, and that's a good CD shredder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still running the same apps I ran before, just running them on Ubuntu instead. GVim, Apache, PHP, Perl, Ansi C.... all of those guys still don't care where they run, there are ports to all of the different OS' they need to support. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me be clear: I didn't WANT to leave Windows. I was comfortable there, and happy and secure in my knowledge of the system. I left Windows because I was forced to do so. My options were to either install something else for free or pay 200 dollars for an XP license.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Happier with my OS now than I've been in a looong time, so I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for making Vista so damn awful, you pushed several people I know to take a long hard look at the alternatives to Windows, and we're happier there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~A!&lt;/p&gt;

The lack of information regarding Vista Extras has been pitiful. Is there even a future for this feature or is Microsoft just planning to phase it out?&lt;/p&gt;

Let's see if by March 2010, Vista manages to reach 65%. :P&lt;/p&gt;
