Re: Code/400 Install Vista

Jon no question your 100% correct but if that same contractor showed up with
a D9 Cat to install your water main maybe you just might consider that over
kill. From a project management standpoint wouldn't have been better in IBM
brought out Lite before the Queen Mary. I appreciate some of the bells and
whistles but with my limited imagination I doubt it I will ever be able to
begin to use them all. Potential Production increase can sometimes get
bogged down complexity of the manufacturing steps. IBM designers have never
been able to be humble enough to accept the KISS principle. It always had to
be the grandest structure yet.

I was going to stay out of this but ... I have to take issue with Joe on
this statement:

"It's a perfectly adequate environment for green screen development."

SEU is not "adequate" for _any_ modern application development - green
screen or not.  I might accept "tolerable" - but that's as far as I go.  

I always wonder how people who balk at the idea of a $700 PC (or a $50
memory upgrade which is all it takes for WDSC lite for most people) would
react if the contractor they had hired on a time-and-materials basis to
build their new house showed up with nothing but hand saws and hammers!
It's the same thing - you want productivity - you use the appropriate tools.
Simple.
