[TCML] Dumb Vista Question

[bartb]

Thanks Matt,
I hear you loud and clear. Heck, I'm thinking Mac these days. I thought 
I would never hear myself say something like that (pc user from the dos 
days). Started my pc life on a Commodore 64! I read up on Vista last 
weekend (does anyone remember Word for Dos?). Even Bill had nothing good 
to say. The exec in charge at the time of release was heading to a new 
job (Amazon I think?). Is this what happens when Bill isn't involved? I 
found out that Mac OSX grabbed a few things from Vista and released it 
before Vista (good for them! Lord knows enough from stolen from Apple 
and of course TI). XP isn't wonderful, but a heck of lot more forgiving 
than Vista.

As I've worked around security with Vista, I realize I would hate to be 
an IT guy with this system.
