How Many?

How many of you actually plan to EVER use Vista? See, the reason I am asking is because almost every time I see an article like this, the "TalkBack" is full of Apple-Mac users and Linux and Ubuntu's ETC..ad infinitum, all saying how their software is the best and that everyone should switch and how evil Microsoft really is, because they won't let everyone have their software for free and how bad Microsoft is for being a company that makes products that admittedly has experienced quite a few problems. My point is - if Microsoft products are so bad, why do you even care? Is it so terrible that some people WANT to use a product that is sometimes buggy? Are all of you also going on the Ford, Chevy and Volkswagen websites and telling all of those people how bad their cars are - because some of their cars got recalled and they should ONLY buy Hondas or Toyotas just like the one you drive, because your cars are all manufactured by a collective of volunteers? Oh wait - they aren't. What is the world coming to? Are all car companies just building cars for PROFIT? Perhaps you can tell that I'm being a little sarcastic. I'm just wondering what it is that motivates people who are so filled with hate of a product to seemingly search out ways to bash it publicly. Is it insecurity that not all of the the six and a half billion people on the planet think exactly like you do? See - when I don't like something, I usually try to avoid it, instead of immersing myself in it. Maybe it's because you are, like myself, I.S/I.T. people and you HAVE to support it and that's why it is so interesting to you and why you feel you have to bash Microsoft and all it's products. Hmmm. Let's see - that means if you only had to support the software/OS of your choice, which never has any problems and is so much more capable than that MS dreck, then what? Would you be out of a job? Would the street corners be filled with guys in rumpled white shirts and coffee-stained ties all holding neatly printed cardboard signs, "Will work for Internet Access and Donuts"? Think about what you are doing on these forums/talkbacks - are you being helpful, or just critical? I'm not even sure what the point of this article is. Is it being informative, or just riling people up and causing controversy for advertising's sake. Oh yeah, didn't you know? This website gives you "free" articles, in hopes that you will BUY things from their sponsors. They have to make a profit too - or didn't you know? How utterly evil of them to want to get paid for providing a service. Bad ZDNet! Bad!
