Re: [Thinkpad] VISTA S*CKS!

C'mon, guys, step away from the keyboard, and take a deep breath. No
OS wars, remember? That includes versions of Windows.

Bruce said that he was opting not to upgrade the apps because it might cost a lot of cash and I've got no beef with that. The fact that Vista is more than just XP + Eye Candy is the reason why there's issues and those issues are often not Microsoft's fault;, its often the ISV's fault. Since it's easier to blame the OS, most people do that - and I'm even OK with that but I still maintain that it's an unrealistic expectation that you won't have any problems when you switch OS's... which is why I've recommended to ppl to get Vista with a new PC. And why I suggested the same thing for XP, when it first came out. Easier for all involved.

I'm sorry, but that's a complete crap comment. Further, the three comments of mine that you're taking out of context were made about his stance on Office 2007 - not Vista.
