Oh, this will go down in history! If this isn't the beginning of the end for Microsoft, I give up.

Talk about a lack of confidence in your own product!

Bwahahaha

Our office still won't upgrade to Vista. We can't afford the downtime should something run amiss, which is pretty much bound to happen to at least one installation of Vista. However, I at least applaud Micro for having the option for downgrade (not that they would have much of a choice for the riots that would ensue).

heeeeeeee heeeeeeeee heeeeeeeee

I'm wondering what this has to do with the article, but it was pretty funny nonetheless. If you notice, a bunch of the students have Macs.

I don't think downgrade rights are anything new. I think Windows XP Pro was offered with downgrade rights to Windows 2000 Pro. Maybe the same thing with 2000 to NT 4. I have a notebook computer that had XP Pro and 2000 Pro.

But what about those of us who bought systems with XP recently because we knew Vista was crap?

should have bought a mac?

What of it? Didn't you get what you wanted?

You got XP without paying for Vista to get it. Beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick--except insofar as using Windows at all is a lot like that to begin with!
