Slow Death for Windows Vista - Packaged Software End of Sales Reached

Goodbye, Vista.
I won't miss you.

I think that every version of Windows that I have used, has it's pluses and minuses. I don't get too excited about what new version is on the horizon, because I'm sure that it is going to be a trade off between what I want, and what I get. Plus, it will take quite some time after paying for and installing it, before I know how I feel about it, and I really don't like having to relearn how to do something, simply because MS has deemed fit to reorganize and rearrange some operation to what they think is best for no other reason than to give the appearance of improvement.

It's kind of like shopping at WalMart, and each time I visit, they move products to new locations, because of their marketing schemes, rather than customer convenience. Unfortunately, the store that I usually shop at recently unwent a complete remodeling, which included a complete shuffling of departments, making what should have been a simple chore, a tedious hunt to find what I had in mind, and after a long scouring of what their inventory was, to find that they had dropped many items that I wanted, or reduced the size and raised the price.

I do not believe that computer users should be forced to buy another Windows version, once that they have bought the first. All improvements and updates should be given freely, just as regular updates are, and that the license to only have a specified time valid, like maybe 5 years, which would have to be renewed. Updates would be only for real improvements, not just for a prettier package to attract buyers.

I still use Vista, and not the "beloved Windows 7"!

I still prefer Vista Ultimate to Win 7 here.
The Win 7 laptop is idle most of the time.

Idle computers are like idle minds.

Not really. Regardless of how "idle" a mind might be, it is continually running itself on something, and unlike a computer, it can only be unplugged once...unless one counts the supernatural.

Idle computers are like idle minds.



And like Edelweiss s



Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
