[quote=“JaysGreenLX,post:2,topic:25562"”] It’s a good point [/quote] I know it’s a good point and there are probably a lot of CEO’s that agree but I think it’s funny that a guy in his position would come out and say those things about his good buddy Bill Gate’s opus. ---

[quote=“boardjnky4,post:5,topic:25562"”] i doubt any large companies are going to make a vista switch anytime soon [/quote] Again, that is not the point that I am trying to make, every smart individual knows now to make the switch immediately, the point is, most of them would rather keep quiet than state something like Paul did. ---

I like this quote: “Consumers will like Vista as they play with it,” he thought. It’s “closer to the Mac than we’ve been on the Windows side for a long time.” Yeah, from what I’ve heard, alot of existing PC software and hardware won’t work with it… just like a Mac. ---
