Remnants of Y2K!

From the makers of Vista's OS, Microsoft...! What else could you expect? More news... Microsoft’s now wants to lease and/or charge, 'pay as you go' on future Microsoft OS releases and Microsoft apps. That's equivalent to the likes of Oracle, etc., but Oracle writes code for mainframe clientele (industry, banking, retail, etc.). Imagine, one day, you sit down in front of your computer, which uses Microsoft’s OS and apps, and all of a sudden, you can't access anything, because Microsoft’s has written code similar to their brilliant Zune 30G! Wonderful, no?!! With Microsoft, you always get more than you bargained for! When you buy your OS and apps from one source, and your hardware from another. What do you end up with...? Ponder this... Dell cried to Microsoft when they realized their machines didn't meet Microsoft’s Vista minimum requirements. Microsoft’s CEO Ballmer, succumbed to Dell's cries, and certified their machines anyway, signing off on the authorization - with full knowledge they weren't comparable nor compatible. Now, consider HP's position, who built their line to exceed Vista's requirements. But because of Dell's immediate failures, Vista failed, therefore HP sat on inventory they can't move, and are in litigation with, guess who... Microsoft! . But wait, there's a silver lining in all this... HP has apparently been caught selling hardware to Iran, for which they are banned by a Federal mandated embargo from doing... I guess in the end... What comes around, goes around, and around again... BTW, I'm a Mac, and d*mn happy to be one, too! Both my software and hardware designed specifically to work in conjunction with one another. My apps are based on the same premiss, too! I',m also an iPod, iPhone, and who knows what my next Earth shattering breakthrough will be next, so everyone else can try to copy me... Seriously consider your options, next time...
