You'd be hard pressed to find two Vista-supported computers that came
without network cards. Perhaps a crossover network cable is a better
solution?

Vista vs. XP

I have to go with Demonkey on this. 95% of everyone I have come in
contact with that has Vista, is now looking for some way to slit their
wrist or open a major artery. Even my boss who bought 3 new computers
was told he HAD to have vista on them because they dont sell computers
with XP on them anymore.

Issues:
Vista does not support DCC (direct cable connection) between two
computers, even if they are BOTH Vista computers.

Vista and other software packaged with it has several annoying "needs
access to internet to update" messages which cant be disabled. (two
computers at work will never be connected tot he internet)

Vista was released FAR before it was a solid OS because there was a
deadline to meet and you will get all your bug fixes and patches thru
the internet (if you have internet) over the course of the life of
Vista even though the NEW OS. "Windows 7" "Fiji" and "Vienna" are all
windows OS's that were started even before Vista was released. (Fiji is
more of a tuneup to Vista)

Vista owners have to "relearn" windows because of the massive rework of
the start menu and control panel areas, with no specific benefit of
doing so.

Each release of Windows OS costs roughly $400

My suggestion? Get a Mac. Each OS release is only $129, is fully
functional, doesnt estrange the user from the last version, doesnt
require massive updates, Networks to "any" computer system (windows,
linux, unix, ubuntu, etc) supports DCC to ANY computer system, does not
require internet access to "fully operate". The list is incredibly
long.

Other known issues with Windows: The Windows OS is all there is.

Mac goes beyond just an OS, with Apple TV, iPod/Touch, , iPhone, Time
MAchine, Time Capsule (backup appliance(server grade HD) + Airport
extreme base station)), Apple TV Take 2.

Windows gets viruses (Mac doesnt, ever)

Windows Vista owners are posting the largest number of owners
downgrading back to XP (Mac users downgrade? where?)

Windows doesnt have any Free Software Upgrades or Updates (iPhones and
iPod)

Windows offers TV shows and Movies with over 125 million sold tv shows
and 7 million movies sold and rents movies to you over the internet
downloaded right to your PC from the top 11 Movie Studios....no
wait...thats all Apple only.

Microsoft offers.....an OS (with no mac compatibility)
Apple offers .....Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Macbook, Macbook Pro,
Macbook Air(thinnest in the world), iPod/nano/shuffle/classic/touch,
iPhone, Apple TV, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule(1 TB), and Microsoft
software (2008 Office, Messenger, Excel, Word) Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro,
Movie Purchase/rental and download directly to your Computer, iPod,
Laptop, iPhone or HD TV(from your HDTV)

So ya, Vista OS and Microsoft...so solid.
We wont even go into connectivity to Bluetooth in Windows, its
non-existent.

googolplex Dufus in the power of a vistillion!

(where 1 vistilion is 10 in the power of a googolplex or the amount of ram
needed in bytes for Vista to work very well)

It is the fault of HP, plain and simple! If HP wanted to support the
scanner they would have delivered an HP driver for Vista. Over 100 million
copies sold. How many of your 3-year old HP scanners were sold?

I didn't say I bought crack *anywhere*. If you knew me, you'd know that
I don't want to die and if I were to do crack, with my health situation,
I would die. That said, I have never had the dubious pleasure of smoking
crack. I don't care for drugs. If you knew me, you'd also know I don't
anywhere near South Central LA.

Yeah, MS wants "Vista Ready" hardware for its Vista.

I have no idea.

He posted today. Have you got him kill filed?
