If you have any concrete arguments in defense of Windows based operating
systems as opposed to available alternatives please state them and it
will make a worthwhile discussion.

Do you guys really think that any of those options are viable

No wonder you don't score management jobs!

For all those who believe Vista is still not up to par,you can help stop MS
from forcing us to go to Vista.

For those who don't know,MS is planning on stopping XP sales after June
30,2008.There are a few options for enterprise users,but Joe XP user will not
be able to go to any store and buy a copy of XP after that date.Or at least
after the stores sell out of what they have on hand.

You can sign a petition at InfoWorld that may delay or stop MS from forcing
us to use Vista.

Sign the petition here:

Maybe we can stop this.


Or, rather than trying to swim upstream, you could buy a Mac.  Or install *nix*
on your Winblows computer......
