hyeah: hyeah: hyeah:People do strange things... what's new in that. Core 2 Duo is out for 1.5 years now but still people go OMG at Dual Core (Pentium D). Some even swears by P4 :rofl:
And then, didn't you chaps know that even a crappy piece (comparatively) of Netburst outsold Athlon even when Athlon had everything going for it.
People just care about vow factor. Most people are sold on aero, glossy icons, dark shining colour and M$ bullshit and not the merits of an OS.
Ask companies why they still prefer XP? Why Dell was forced to give XP to its customers? Why enthusiats still like to tinker with XP and why hardcore gamers, despite all the DX10 blah blah, cant give up XP?
Nobody is saying that Vista won't be mainstream. After all wasn't windows 2000 a mainstream once upon a time and wasn't IE, despite its flaws, was the dominant browser before Firefox and Opera ate into its share.
The issue at hand is why M$, the mightiest software company in the world with enough moolah to buy and hire best in the world, took five years, weaved a grand dream, promised PC users a product equal to Mac OS and came out this bloat?
:bleh:

vista s newest version named vienna(rumour) is gonna be launched soon... wghich consumes less ram & is much better..
The new version is NOT called Vienna. It is called Windows 7 internally, and indications are they will call it Windows 2000 and something (depending on when they actually release it) externally.
No one knows whether it consumes less RAM - you guys are confusing one thing with another.

I'd like to ask why companies moved from Windows 2000 to XP. IMO, Win2000 was far better and companies really didn't need to adopt XP. It has cost my company a lot of money in terms of PC and laptop upgrades. I guess companies like to throw money to appease Microsoft.
