All-new OS (Vista) My ass...

Reply #15
I use XP, and have only had one intrusion since this comp was bought new in early 2006....I really don't think the OS has as much to do with viruses as does good habits of scanning everything, and being careful with downloads and websites.
With that said, I'm open to Vista, but then again, XP does everything I need it to do, and I see no need to "upgrade" the OS.

If Win2k would support the hardware I'm using I'd still be using it. Last good OS MS ever produced.
 
As for Vista, I deal with it enough at work to know what an utter piece of  it is.

Microsoft is that thing I require to run Mitchell OnDemand. I've actually got Ubuntu on the laptop (dual boot, Ubuntu/XP) but still use XP more often because I'm always looking stuff up on Mitchell.

Oh, and as much as I like Ubuntu, Microsoft is also that thing that doesn't require rocket science to get the wireless adapter in the laptop working :hick: That was a PITA. I almost gave up entirely...
