Unfortunately, consumers have no choice. Unless the computer companies like Dell and HP stand up for us and demand that they will only install XP, MS gets its way. The only other community that they will listen to is the developer community and we know that they are on our side based on the article.

I have MAC with BootCamp and I installed Vista on it. It all works great except...- The Vista does not find any internet connection in the area. After hours of work I called Microsoft (here in Germany), the call disconnected 3 time (you pay extra for calling them, 40cent/1Minute) I was doing all this just to hear at the end from the technical support that ''sorry, we cant help you, our service will cost you money, you should go with it to the place where you bought the Vista''. What a great answer of Microsoft! First, I bought it in AMAZON, second also if it was a computer store, there are chance they will not know what to do. So I told him ''If I do not find help I stay with MAC and that's all, I will have no other choice''. His answer - ''well, if that is what you want, just do so'' Maybe it was one lazy worker there, but for my it represent the whole Microsoft International.

Microsoft needs to just cut their losses, and
scrap Vista, before it scraps THEM !

I bought a Dell 6 months ago with XP on board, figuring I’d get another couple of years out of my investment into the PC/Win architecture. After that I’m switching to Apple. Cooler hardware, cooler OS, and way cooler CEO.

A buddy of mine runs all of his PC applications on Mac using Parallels, and swears it works fine. I don’t want to go through the headache/expense of updating all my software.

Are you listening Gates and Ballmer?
