Re: Vista compatibility?

You guys are right... I probably was a bit harsh.

Microsoft has worked hard to create the *Ultimate* (no pun intended) operating system. And, being fair to Microsoft, they have a lot more compatibility issues because their software needs to work on any kind of PC with any kind of hardware...

But as far as price... I can understand I high price.. But 4 different prices for 4 different sets of features? We have all been waiting around for this operating system, and now that it's out, we need to pay more for these *extra* features... many of which competitors are bundling with the OS by default. It just seems like Microsoft is losing its competitive edge to companies like Google and Red Hat and Apple... These products hit the same features at a much lower price point.

OK... I'll stop my ranting about Microsoft now. They genuinely have a great operating system and a great team of developers (I know quite a few core developers and a lot of MSDN subscribers...) It just seems that Microsoft doesn't have that bleeding edge software... Like they did back in '95 when no one had ever seen Winnie-The-Pooh come to life.
