Maine to skip Vista

Preedit writes "The State of Maine is the latest organization to skip
Windows Vista, which has been a near-disaster for Microsoft. An internal
state document (dated September 15) uncovered by Infoweek reveals that Maine
will not be upgrading its more than 11,000 personal computing devices from
XP to Vista - ever. Instead, it's going to wait until Windows 7 ships in
2010 and hope for the best. The news is in line with a survey that shows
only 4% of businesses in the UK have upgraded to Vista, the story notes. So
much for that $300 million Seinfeld campaign." A commenter on the article
makes the point that Maine's signing an enterprise software license with
Microsoft means that Redmond doesn't really lose out on this deal it simply
allows the state to upgrade its equipment and software on its own time.

Hey, I've seen those MS ads on TV that states that Vista is the best and
easiest OS to date. This has to be true! It's on TV!

Good one!

Yeah, just like the idiot Bush went on TV and said we had to go to war
with Iraq because they were a threat to national security or the chimp
saying "Mission Accomplished on that air crafter carrier almost six
years ago...with more troops in Iraq now.

Just like Mc Cain said the economy was in fundamentally "good shape"
just a couple weeks ago, oops, before the Stock Market dived 800
points, Congress came running to the rescue and the number of people
out of work spiked and the credit crisis was on the brink of totally
freezing up the banking system which would have brought on the second
great depression pushing another twenty million people out of work.

Just like the bimbo Palin said Barack Obama "pals around with
terrorists" when the person she was referring Obama was just eight
years old at the time.

Sure "everything" you see on TV is true. Just like every post you read
in this goofy newsgroup is true. -)

Here's one more... The Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World
Series. Sure, right after the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl and
Mayor Daley shocks the world and announces he's really a Republican
and so it Ted Kennedy. LOL!

By being preinstalled on pre build boxes sold by the likes of HP,
Dell, Gateway and others.

I keep wondering WHY you care. I'm more concerned when, if ever,
Microsoft will get around to fixing the flaws in Windows.

Maybe BG or SB will come to your house (re: mental institution) and do a
proper install for you.

You keep wondering WHY he cares? Why do YOU care about what MS does with
Vista? You can't even get one simple computer to run Vista at your place.
Take your computer to BestBuy and have those Geeks help your sorry ass out.

I'm sure they can get your computer working even when YOU can't..

How many times I need to remind people you're just a lying sack of
shit? Ditto for Frank, Ditto for Spanky. That's why you three morons
are known as the Three Stooges and charter members of the Useful
Idiots Club.

My install "works" as well as it CAN work, which is the problem, it
doesn't work very well. Have some adult explain the difference to you
because for sure you are far too stupid to get it.

A "near-disaster"??? According to who? Vista over 18% (in 2 years), OS X
under 6% (in 6 years), Linux under 1% (in 15 years).

Yep, that there Vista is real disaster!!!!

Source of information?

I would estimate that 1% of all albino bats in the world are left handed.
Pointless conjecture/guesswork, ergo invalid post.

I'm a Bat man.
I get to count all the left handed albino bats in my line of work.
Simple mathematics to calculate that all the ones I don't count MUST be
right handed.
