Vista - another crappy view
vista has some internet commercials called the mojave experiment where people are told vista is mojave and then they love it. clearly not actual users given time to realize how it has created new problems. myself, yesterday found a new realm of crappiness when i tried to delete a dll that was part of a program I, wanted to delete. it pretended to be all Unix-y and didn't allow me to have file permissions to delete it. i found some command line instructions for giving myself ownership & permissions for the file. still no delete. had to boot to safe mode to delete a dll. you go mojave. granted some stuff is nice like the integration of good handwriting recognition for the tablet... but if you don't have a tablet stick with XP .

we've been an early adopter of vista at this office. I'm sticking with xp till the end. there are things in vista that make an admins life easier, but the end user?! man. i've yet to find ONE. SINGLE. THING. worth upgading to.
it's almost worth going the linux route with WINE (now that it's 1.0) and get rid of the VISTA OS entirely.
if calc was more like excel, and base tooks some lessons from access we'd have something on office too.
ya i still can't use calc to the power that i can use excel. i haven't had need to compare the database. but openoffice writer has definitely trumped word in my opinion. linux is also working its way up to the dumb user look too so it might end up a larger force than i thought. now just to get a few more places on the linux bandwagon so that it is a supported platform for web based stuff...
