How Microsoft can fix all Vista's Problems

[nsag]

All it would take would be a service patch that consisted of XP with the
Aero interface and the assorted arbitrary interface changes of Vista grafted
on. The patch would convert Vista drivers, many of which don't work very
well anyway, to XP counterparts and third party vendors could simply relabel
drivers as needed.
Then you would have a fast, stable, universally compatible OS that looks
"new" (I.e. has the requisite arbitrary changes to the desktop and interface
Microsoft feels compelled to put in a "new" OS) and actually works! The only
feature that might be lacking is the Vista search engine but that could be
another patch. Most people prefer the Google desktop search anyway.

Why didn't Microsoft think of that? Why not just take an old product and
continue to resell it over and over and over and over again? Why waste
billions developing something new when you can just sell something old.

Why? Because some of us want something new, some of us like progress.

If you are telling the truth, you don't want Vista but Linux, the
operating system for the 21st century, not some remake of NT.

I have Linux, both on the client and on the server. It's more of a 19th
century OS at this point than a contender to Windows.

Why are you on a Vista list then? If you like Linux I can give you plenty of
those list to visit.

Aero is only the icing on the cake. You are ignoring the rest of Vista and
focusing on the hype.

Alternatively you could actually try Vista to see what new features there
are. Radical I know, but it can be done.

An extremely ignorant reply (not surprising) that exhibits your total
lack of any technical knowledge and revels once again that you're only a
linux loser troll.

Best thing you can do is wipe Vista clean from your machine. Don't worry
about any data currently on your PC because it really doesn't matter at this
point. Install XP and you will be happy.

Actually, you're the one who is scared sh*tless as evidenced by your
inability to reconcile the fact that since Vista came out linux has lost
market share and will continue to lose market share.
Nobody, an apparently not even you, believes the lies you keep posting.

And Linux will never get more then 1% of the computer market because it is a
19th century OS.
Until Linux can show it is a real OS it will just sit there and spin forever
in a nitch market.

Linux is a ZIT on the face of Microsoft

Microsoft isn't afraid of Linux. They have less than 3% of the market. All
it is is an annoyance to Microsoft, nothing else.

False on both points.

Again, false. I know many people who have switched and none of them are
computer nerds.

Sure ... that's why they are paying millions of dollars to Novell and
Linspire.

There's no way of knowing what market Linux has being as it doesn't have
to be activated and WGAed out the wing wang like Windows XP and Vista
do. I ordered one copy and copied and gave the copies to over ten
friends. That means that Ubuntu knows of one person when, in reality,
it's ten times that.
