The Vista is Not Rosy

Buying a new PC with Vista pre-installed is one thing, but upgrading your existing office PC's is now a dead issue. Witness the comments from inside Microsoft exposed eloquently by Randall Stross in yesterday's NY Times.

More importantly, as you read this article do you really think Microsoft cares about you the customer? Is this how you would approach a product launch/release? I find it hard to surmise how they continue to get away with this behavior.

If I was your Tech adviser, I would strongly consider going Mac since I now have seen both systems in small business action. The capabilities are really similar, MS Office for Mac is robust, and Leopard really does sing. Of course there are open source solutions as well, proving the market is at work for your benefit. Enjoy.
