Microsoft should have done a better education of its users ...

As everyone here already knows, compiz or beryl are years ahead of that
already.

Yep ... their *legions* of programmers took 5 years to build Vi$ta.

Simple solution ... use Linux!

Factual errors abound in this idiots posts. Vi$ta will not be available
for retail sale to the masses until 2007. How can it be the standard
bearer when it isn't available yet?

WOW! that would have taken a long long time, to study all of the
critical security issues. There being so many! Mind you, once Vi$ta
comes out, there will be newer security threats no doubt. This happens
every time Micro$tuft releases a new OS.

I am surprised that the Windroid Troll included this information as it
is a negative assertion against her beloved Windoze.

True. But if you set them up on Linux, then they have less to worry
about, providing you also show them how to maintain their system.

Hopefully you let the dog drink out of it *before* you get in it.

Microsoft discovered that sex sells. Hence the names Vista Beta and Zune.
You are intended to squirt data from Zune to Vistabeta and vice versa,
according to Ballmer.

No hints as to whether vistabetion with one's Zune makes one go blind,
though. Could someone ask Ballmer this the next time they see him? I for
one would greatly appreciate it.

Microsoft really has no idea what to do with brand names, does it! Poor
sods.

I've watched the video with sound on internet at a linux machine PII
500 MHz 256MB memory with
a high security level.
You must try this with vista on a PII 500MHz machine, it will never work.
