The problem Mike, is that his meds are clearly NOT strong enough. Me for
instance, I just needed a machine to replace my old XP dualie. I didn't care
WHAT OS it had on it, as I have my choice, and like many others I use what
makes me most productive. Unfortunately, as has been pointed out, time and
again, this is something Alias, and his smacktard crew cannot or will not
comprehend.

You should rephrase that bud. He is TRYING to discredit Vista. He is no
better at that, than he is apparently at anything else. He has proven over
and over that he lacks any skills whatsoever, and replies solely on his
attempted smear campaign to cover his blatant inadequacies.
