Jeber Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Many of us, because of work or a favorite Win-only app, dual-boot Windows and Linux.Many of us dual-bboters have no intention of upgrading from XP to a newer version of Windows.May I suggest a new catchphrase those like us should use whenever appropriate..."Hasta la vista, baby." (Thank you, Bill Gates, for providing my straight-lines.} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvent2 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Upgrading from XP? Some of us haven't even upgraded to XP despite many recommendations. Like me, I use 98 because my computer is too old to handle the memory-greedy XP.Hasta la vista baby... ...I don't get it, how did you make that up?

greengeek Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Could these other "Vista" people sue MS for nicking their name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrke Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Could these other "Vista" people sue MS for nicking their name?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> From what I have read so far, some are flattered, such as software company in California that markets database software. They feel they are getting publicity. Another was complaining that people were starting to call on the phone asking about windows software which they have nothing to do with. Now, they might consider legal action--said it was starting to interfere with business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is their vision messed up? I could recommend a good optometrist to them to clear their vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You will love what I just read in today's Wall street Journal. Since it is not freely available on the net I will just quote directly: It includes new user-account protection so that users are given only the privileges required to do their work. This mirrors a similar security scheme used by Apple Computer Inc.'s Mac OS X and the Linux operating system. Funny which two OS's they had to mimic.
