How to Remove Wolf from your Registry

[Riggers]

Lmao it took me 10 mins to read that!

I agree with what you say, but why do you discredit it so much? And you compare it to Linux but what I can't understand is if Linux is so much better then why do people stay with Microsoft?

I'm not arguing with you on this but I think many people also don't use Linux for the same reason as Vista as in they don't like change. For example, a lot of people like to jump on the bandwagon of things as it makes them feel secure and confident.

Another example I would make is the Playstation2. At first there were many faults and problems with it and this was broadcast worldwide. Yet 2/3 years later you could hardly find a street in a MEDC without this console in it.

This is why I believe in Vista a lot.

And I am a bit confused too, you based some of your points on "if" and as much as I can agree with you on this "if" does not fully convince me to believe your idea that Linux/Mac will invent something.

I have no doubt that they will invent 'something' but it will only aim to better Vista on it's weaker areas - for instance with XP, it's great for home use and personal etc etc yes? But then why do a lot of businesses prefer Mac technology. I believe it is because Mac made a 'better' business product than Microsoft because that is were they saw it lack.

Surely you can agree that Vista will at some point take over XP, in my "bandwagon theory" many people now understand Windows and how it works/runs etc; as for Mac/Linux a lot are still unsure. Like in the UK, most people I know and have talked to use Windows 2000/XP/Vista and it is a rarity that you find a Mac or Linux.

And last, I want to thank you Lith most of all because you have helped me through this topic!! You see I take a course in school what teaches me about arguments and persuasion etc and reading this has thoroughly helped me!!!! I owe you one man

but why do you discredit it so much.

Both windows xp and vista infuriate me. xp is alright once its loaded but it takes like 5-10 mins to finish starting up fully. Vista is just slow in general as you see from those performance benchmarks. I don't do slow

I'm not arguing with you on this but I think many people also don't use Linux for the same reason as Vista as in they don't like change. For example, a lot of people like to jump on the bandwagon of things as it makes them feel secure and confident.

I think this too. But very slowly people using mac or linux are increasing. they slowly gain more market share month by month. mac and linux both have about 3% each i think. The reason everyone uses windows is cause everyone else uses it. But once linux + mac get maybe 7 to 15% each a lot more people will switch i think.

Another example I would make is the Playstation2. At first there were many faults and problems with it and this was broadcast worldwide.

It still has faults in it. Thats why i don't use it. The reason that most of the people in your streets have it now is because people believe it is better than xbox so they get it. Sure i agree its better than xbox but neither are good enough for me to want them anyway.

And I am a bit confused too, you based some of your points on "if" and as much as I can agree with you on this "if" does not fully convince me to believe your idea that Linux/Mac will invent something.

Yep because i'm not going to say something is going to happen when i'm not absolutely certain it will

I have no doubt that they will invent 'something' but it will only aim to better Vista on it's weaker areas for instance with XP, it's great for home use and personal etc etc yes?

linux targets all areas not just weak areas. I dunno about mac cause i don't use it and i hate it more than vista. Linux already has many desktop distro's which are equally good as Vista except on the gaming side. (although linux beats some areas of vista too so it all balances ) Linux has already invented 'something' but its still not quite enough. goto youtube.com search compiz-fusion check it out (awesome desktop effects that pwn vista's stupid thing and use way less gpu to do it)

I believe it is because Mac made a 'better' business product than Microsoft because that is were they saw it lack.

I believe windows is better than mac for everything and businesses only use it because they want to look more sophistacated. Macs fit the job because they are 'rich pcs' or what i would 'coin' not worth the money. Linux beats windows for servers. linux pretty much rivals vista as a desktop os (only problem is if a user really screws something up then they probably wont be able to fix it cause they don't know how). And for businesses linux is probably equal with vista apart from the customer support category (cept if you wana pay about $500 for linux when you could get it for free) which microsoft is pretty crap at anyway.
(help and support: do you have this that or the other?
me: wheres the i dont have any of those option?
help and support: sorry we cannot diagnose your problem
me: what kind of bs it that?)

Surely you can agree that Vista will at some point take over XP
I don't think it will. Its possible but i think most people will wait for the next version of windows. (or discover an alternative os)


Your bandwagon theory is correct. (or in other words people are sheep ) It will be interesting to wait and see how long before this 'bandwagon' crashes and the people decide they need another. (perhaps a house this time )
