Re: Vista questions

begin  trojan.vbs ... On Monday 22 August 2005 06:14 am, GregRo had this to
say in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

> Why is Microsoft creating a new operating system?

So that they can make more money off the Wintards who will be lining up the
night before it is released with their VISA cards in hand.


> Why did the remove the new file system?
>
Maybe because they just couldn't figure out how to get it working properly
before 2015?

> Can anyone run the sega cd or the star trek the next generation final
> unity on Vista?
>
You're kidding, right? Can you run those games on 98? XP? If so, why do you
care whether Vista will run them? Do you even know why you think you need
to concern yourself with this?

> Can anyone tell me the difference between msh and cmd?
>
One starts with an "m" and the other with a "c". Of course, other letters
have been changed just to help keep you confused.

> What are the hardware and memory requirements?
>
Think BIG! Think spending more money. Think how MickeyMouse and the computer
manufacturers are in bed together fleecing the general public. Once you've
got your mind focused in that direction and on that simple reality, you'll
see that the requirements will be more than what most people have now.

> Is Microsoft going to more or less strict on hardware changes before
> you have to reactive?
>
Is the Pope Catholic? Is your pee yellow when you piss on the snow?

> Can you run any old dos programs?
>
I'm sure you can. Much of the underpinnings of Vista (better known in the
computer world as "Curtains") must still contain alot of DOS code.

Is this the end of your silly questions? If not, throw out more and you'll
continue to get many answers here.
