I , like many people will be buying a computer during the holiday session. There is No way that Vista offers enough bang for the buck for me to turn aroung and replace the OS within first year. Its more likely that MS will wait for the next two years to put any of my money in there coffers. It’s unbelievable that a company as large with the vast sums of cash MS has won’t spend the extra money to hire enough people to do the needed work.Maybe Bill can take a few more trips to Washington and cry about visa’s (that’s much easier than paying a competitive wage)!
