Windows Vista is the most popular operating system yet

there are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch

Why cant they just admit it is shite and scrap it?

Nod ... I've just bought a new laptop with XP on it.

We've encountered problems at work with Vista.

It's shite.

DELL appreciate this, they offer XP alongside Vista for the purchaser to choose between.

Pity the others dont all follow suit.

Solaris x86, eh? You brave, deluded fool.

Having worked with Solaris machines for the past 9 years I can safely say that it's a great server OS but utter crap for desktop use.
