Last night on the news:
Request from Apple to iPod owners not to upgrade to VISTA - it seems to cause some serious problems to the iPods. Some other manufacturers of devices have joined this chorus. And, as usual, the first to install a new MS product are the first to get their 3 R's:
Right Royally Reamed.
"DOH!"
I downloaded Ubuntu 6.06.1 last night.
Keep your hands warm and your feet dry!

With my home computer, I'll possibly stick with XP forever.
There ist no need to go deeper into the swamp than I'm used to:
Windows is gradually replaced by Linux and/or FreeBSD
At work, we just dropped NT4-Support, and Vista is installed on one Test-Computer. We see to our software working with the new Vista privilege system, but the computers we ship will have XP on them until Microsoft disallows it.
So no need to hurry.

Around 3 days ago I was wondering about suggesting a new question for weekly poll, Guess what it was?
Yes, When will you start using Vista?
People think just the same sometimes

hardly a surprise considering today is the official launch day I knew it had to be this question before I scrolled down.

Me too...

What I found unbelievable was the amount of free advertising MS got through all of the UK media coverage of the release of Vista. I can't see the 6 o'clock news having a main item about Ford releasing a new model of car, or Dulux releasing a new colour of emulsion. I don't like to see my license fee going on what is essentially advertising for MS.

I bought my laptop in July and immediately wiped the drive and installed Vista beta 2, and I've been using various builds ever since.

But my software works on Vista. Hopefully my competition isn't so masochistic.

Works on Vista or Works only on Vista?
YOU wouldn't need to resort to self-mutilation just to have your software running under Vista.

Well, he used to write shell extensions for fun a few years ago - so perhaps you have a point there

True. Windows Vista already is a normal desktop OS for him.

Hah! I'm still running beta 1! Well, not running exactly, I never power up that system, it sits in a closet.

I beat you, I have been using regularly since the February CTP.
Previously I did install it but did not use it.
|

|
|
Wow, you're brave
|

I have been using vista ever since beta 1 and I can't live without it anymore
Although all the software I've created in the last few months runs on w2k/xp/w2k3/vista.
