Lol.

 

Vista falls down badly on massively parallel distributed computing

tasks, or so I've heard.

 

It also doesn't do such a great job on multimedia.

 

And it makes a lousy multihomed router, IMHO. Where's the BGP

implementation?

How would know, you lying POS. You don't have Vista, you've never had

nor used Vista...you are just a linux lying troll.

I have a copy of Ultimate on the shelf and I agree, it appears to be XP

SE. I will eventually have to have one machine running it to support it

but I will wait until SP2 comes out before even considering having it on

anything but a test machine.

 

Ubuntu has its advantages and disadvantages as does Windows XP or Vista.

I use both for different things.

LOL! NO Windows OS has, is or will not need tech support. Or do you

think that Vista can't be screwed up by someone receiving a "cool file"

with Windows Live Messenger? If so, it's obvious you've never cleaned up

an infested computer like I have hundreds of times.

 

Alias

"...and most absolutley hate it"

Another one of your fabricated facts?

Or can you prove this?

This sounds like another one of your fantasies taking over your

reality.

 

"soon"

Or perhaps you mean this to be 20 -30 years, in which case one of the

very few times you may be correct, but even then time will tell.

 

"consider it already dead"

why? there is no reason.

Your inability to use Windows Vista or anything else is not indicative

of "most" others

 

Many successfully use Windows Vista.

Windows Vista runs well on two older computers of mine.

More FACTS for you and FACTS you can NOT disprove.

"and nobody will want it"

How can nobody want something when many want it?

Another of your obvious FALSE statements.

So typical of you.

 

"stupid vistaboys"

Insults and attacks on others, also very typical of you.

In fact I would probably try and get you help as you probably are on drugs.
