  1. Comment - Microsoft Concedes to Google and States, Will Change Vista Search

    If it's not Microsoft's fault then whose is it??? That is a really dumb thing and btw at the beginning of the year you could choose to not get Vista but that has been changed. I just bought a Dell and I had to get Vista. IE 7 to me is certainly not better than 6 as it won't even work most of the time. I have gobs of friends in Yahoo groups that hate it cause it always gives so much trouble. Yeah the updates get you if you don't check to see what you are updating. I learned that real fast. I have delt with tech support with HP for over the last 11 months. Believe me when I say they tell you to uninstall 7 and put 6 back on cause they don't have a fix for the problem. Even the techs dealing with Vista hate to have to deal with the problems they have with 7. I know this as fact from HP and Dell both.

    I happen to like Vista myself. There are still lots of problems with it. MY IE won't work at all.I can't even get the disabled one to work. I use FireFox anyway cause I hate IE. Nothing to do with Microsoft at all. In fact other than what I said before, I love the person that invented Windows, it was not Bill by the way but someone else and he as smart enough to get it and so something with it. My hats off to him. I remember only too well the Apple IIE that I learned on. I hate DOS a lot worse than I hate Windows. I don't really like Windows. No one else I guess has come up with anything better. I have never tried Linux or any of the other OS's. What I hate is them forcing you to use IE with certain web sites. I think that stinks. I have problems with Vista just like I did when XP came out at first. It hangs up all the time but all and all there are some really neat things it has that the XP didn't have and for what I do I love it.

    Ya know, using words like that only shows your mentally and what kind of a person you really are. It doesn't prove that your tuff and all it just proves how crude you are.

    I didn't use to think Microsoft as a monopoly but my thoughts on this has changed somewhat. HP doesn't want you to use their chat support unless you use IE, Real networks doesn't want you nor can download Real Player with anything but IE. There are so many places that don't want you using anything but IE. I find it funny that most of these places Windows has bundled with their software. Is this just me or what? My Vista doesn't even let IE 7 run. It's always shutting down or will never come up to start with. I can't keep it going however I tried to even download updates and could do so with my Firefox which was the only thing that would work. Same thing when I was trying to get Real Player and my account with them to work. I couldn't use Firefox which was the only thing working. Tell me there's not some kind of a monopoly going on.
    I saw hooray for Google which I love myself and only use their search engine to start with and only wanted Google desktop search.
