Re: Experiences with VISTA

["Mark Allen" <scprideandms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Windows XP and Office 2003 are the last MS products that will be put on any
computer of mine, I tracked my time yesterday at work (slow day) and I lost
approx 1 hr total of "productive" time due to:

1.  The lovely I am MS Word I will reformat you document as you type cause I
know all including what you want to do.

2.  Window focus changes as your typing

3.  3 reboots/lockups

4.  Install updates (AGAIN!!!!!)

Sorry MS is total BS, why does anyone even consider it a multi tasking OS,
its still a single user OS with a windows front end, so it "looks" like its
doing more than 1 thing
