Ultimately it does not matter if the Govt bans vista or not, Microsoft really gives you no choices. and like always eventually the govt will come around to bill gates way of thinking. but alas, it will be too late for vista… windows Vienna/ windows 7.0 as of 12.27.07, will be launched in late ‘09 and is not reverse compatible at all, all software will have to be reworked and restructured by every developer out there. basically 7.0 is the birth of the star trek OS. you speak it talks back…. can anyone say HAL… where’s Dave HAL….. (reference to 2010.. sequel to 2001)

J is right. It’s not a ban. It’s merely a common sense decision. Which means that as soon as it’s discovered it will be overturned and the person who made it fired.

Choosing not to upgrade is not the same thing as a ban, fuckwad. You guys have to quit trying to write and just stick to torrents, because you fuck this shit up every time.

First time i see so much MS fanboys crying and that is really odd.
You should try mandriva linux or ubuntu to feel the taste of free air… Do no see the computing world through corporate windows, come outside and feel the fresh air without all those virus and bacteria

That’s why I’m still using XP & Mepis. Vista isn’t enough of an upgrade to change.

I agree with only one thing said by the ms-whiners above, there is too much vista attention on this blog. This vista crap need no attention, if one wants a real OS, it should be linux all the way.

“Sorry to say OSX has FAR FAR FAR more shortcomings than vista/xp….”

Not having used a Mac in my life and only hearing how great it is from Mac people around me, I am curious as to what these deficiencies are? Listening to them it’s like OSX is even better than sex, and I don’t really believe that. It often seems like a case of the opposite hype compared to Microsoft.

So please tell me: what are the problems with OSX?

I’m surprised the U.S government don’t have novell servers with opensuse clients to be honest. Far more stable than m$ ie: uptime is measured in years not days. And as for office openoffice 2.0 uses all the same file extensions of m$ office products.

“(6) They hide things from you.
(Did you know WGA still “phones home” to MS servers even if you select cancel?..But they don’t inform the user about it! Run a packet sniffer the next time you install Windows and get to the WGA part. You’ll see something interest leave your PC and head to MS’s servers.)”

thats right , use Peer2Guardian and block M$ and u will see it connects to M$ every 6h when you don`t have the update feature on , it also connects to MSN.com and Hotmail ???!!! when i never use them … this remembers me the movie “The System” and that spartan virus

the other reason it matters is MS just lost 55,000 customers from one memo. there’s been a steady rate of agencies world wide turning away from various MS products. government sales used to be 10% of revenue. no business can ignore loosing 10% without explanation, it’s growth or death.

personally, think this is why they’re putting more eggs in the home/entertainment basket over time. can see them a generation from now being more like a media conglomerate than an OS manufacturer. a sony with a clue on how to sell an integrated tech vision.
