Re: Vista? A flop??

The latest beta? Hell, that's 4-5 months old. We are now on CTP 5270 and it seems fairly stable. Maybe you should test the latest version to get a continuing impression as to how it is progressing.

But, if you can't adapt to change then stay with what you know. It is a learning curve that some may not be able to handle (-:

Just tried the latest beta... its trash! They made so many changes in the
GUI with no apparent reason.. seems they just had to change things so they
could say that vista is different.. but the changes only made it harder to
use... At least they could have an option to revert to the old way of doing things...

its horrible!

I hope they fix up their act or their sales will go down the drain when
vista comes out.

Oh and the messenger live beta? Another bloated peice of trash...

What are those programmers thinking???

Perhaps staying with XP is not such a bad idea after all......
