I like Microsoft Vista, it's fun
and I also like my BRAND SPANKING NEW Dell Dimension computer!


Damn, I forgot what it's like to have a computer that works. Happy early birthday/tax refund to me! :7

One of the orderlies will take it, or you could just get Gray to beat them up for you.

39. You bought a DELL computer? You just made a contribution to the GOP.
A small part of your purchase just went to a Republican candidate's campaign or a DELL hired lobbyist.

Does VISTA run faster than Windows XP? I would like to find out.

Thank you.

32. I Highly recommend spending a little more money and getting a wireless.
Holy Cow, since I love the one we got. It's a Logitech wireless combo(comes with a nice mouse) I think it's a 3200 model. It's kick ass, quiet, and it actually had helped my to type faster. I've even seen a really cool ergonomic keyboard, if you don't want to spend 80 bucks. The ergonomic one is 20 or 30. It's black and really sleek.
I recently got a new computer too, but mine is an HP. I don't have vista yet, but like you, I really like having a computer that works!! My system is KICK ASS.

19. It's pretty snazzy
It has lots of fun little things it does, I haven't played with it that much yet. But the graphics are great, and it has this one feature where if you have multiple windows open you can scroll through them on the screen (I don't know if that sounds very cool, but it is!), tons of other stuff I'm figuring out. :P

26. It sounded like you wanted to put a illegal copy on a work machine.
And using Vista on any mission critical machine right now is fucking insane. If you have a legit copy and a computer at work that doesn't do anything.. Go for it.

But the MSDN site usually downloads with all the speed of a hungover tortoise.

35. Lots of people downloading (or trying to upload!) stuff?
:D

Which is sad, Microsoft really should update its infrastructure... I mean they're not broke or anything, and you're a paying customer - right? (And I know how much it costs to get into that... ouch.)

28. Ah, the honeymoon period
Those 4-6 weeks where the hackers and adware people are scrambling to catch up. Then they catch up, and the antivirus people are playing catchup for a couple of more weeks. Then you have a year to wait before Microsoft releases a service pack to fix all the stuff the evildoers figured out how to break.

29. Having toyed with Vista myself for a little while, I can say that
genital herpes is a lot of fun too.


Okay, Vista isn't terribly bad... Office2007 is another story, however...
