According to this BBC page http://www.microsoft.com/uk/press/executives/
users in the Uk are going to be ripped off yet again by being charged DOUBLE
the prices charged in USA. Let's boycott Vista in the UK until this rip-off
culture stops.
PS - if anyone has an email address for the Sales Director of MS UK I would
like to know so that I can ask him to comment on this.
Worse than that, if you install it you'll find that your computer runs
slower than with Windows XP.
I installed it, my computer runs great with it. Triple boot with XP. So there goes your contention. Lots of people installing it now with the public release. If what you said were true as a matter of course, then people would be screaming that in the Vista newsgroups, but that's not happening.
Depending on the hardware configuration, problems with the install, lack of drivers, your contention is true for some systems, but not as a general rule. But then there were people saying that XP would be a disaster too.
When you make a blanket statement like that, without any credible substantiation (and there can't be any in this case because your statement is in fact not true) all you do is show a bias and lack of knowledge.
