Thank you VVS,I'm not interested that much in comparisons,just email me if you want Vista Business. Its like starting to compare a Toyota,VW and BMW.They all have buyers for different reasons ranging from looks,price and re-sale etc........

Gordon,

I once had an 'Original Pirated Vista Ultimate'.
Its original coz it works just like the real thing,even when online and connecting to microsoft servers........but its pirated coz u didnt buy it. So I used it for like 1year...........until I did an automatic upgrade of Service Pack1......hehe!The laptop shutdown immediately and gave me 3days to buy a license......and all my data was in it!

@ VVS this is SK tangenting is a standard!!!
@ Birdman ...... Have to tangent from your thread.

I hate wasting money. Have never used linux but im seeing myself going in that way!! I have been using open source software from open office to mozilla among many others. They really serve me well. I cant understand why you would use money on windows.
My comp came with vista Business. Had it been basic linux would be my first choice.
PS: Linux is not vulnerable to virus,faster,smaller,less mem requirement.

This guys compared linux,XP and vista. Microsoft just rips people off.

Still off topic but....

I installed Mac OS X on my AMD desktop and my Toshiba. It is a bit technical but once you have got it working,it's really great.

@Tony.....lets 'tangent'
I will tell you why I love Microsoft.


I get almost all products free in one way or the other,you just need to be smart.
Uniformity.Its a great thing especially in the corporate world.If you have get into a new company and find e.g a microsoft server,you know where to start from and how to connect and do stuff on it. It's great for people like me in IT.

I think as long as you have a good original installation,a good anti-virus as well and some connection to the net for updates,you are set. If you don't,maybe go the open source way.

I also wonder why people complain about MS taking up too much resource,too much memory,HDD space.........why the hell did one buy Core2Duo or 4GB ram and 320GB HDD drives!?Did you buy it to 'keep it safe' or to use and test your machine to the limits?!

Bird man for an IT guy your love for microsoft should be a bit bipolar both with great times and melancholic times.
About the free stuff which are usually updates well more often they are patches made to seal up loop holes here and there.
Linux has more people working on making it better than there microsoft employees working on developing window 7 or any windows.
You mentioned free stuff........... You cant not even begin to compare cost of linux and windows. HOW??? everything is free with linux the only thing you pay for is consultants but you are an IT gut there are many SKs on the net for linux stuff.
Not prone to virus can windows really say that??
There are so many many flavours of linux windows doesn't have that range of choice.

About the laptop if windows is busy hogging the memory and then the antivirus kicks in which linux users dont necessarily have to have you will soon discover you need more ram and a faster processor.

Did i mention linux is free free free and most of the associated softwares are free free free!!!!

Hehe Tony!Inakaa you have beaten me hands down on that!I agree.
But its kinda funny,it's just like the way Safcom has all of us in their bag yet we all know they are not truly the better option!
