Windows Vista Delayed Until 2007

[nirubhai]

if you can't compare... you can't compete!

lack of easyness & software support are the major drawbacks i found with linux.

damn... i see users who don't know where to right click & where to left click in windows!
you can't expect them to use linux to access internet!

for windows, software providers do it at ease like insert cd & next next next (wizard)... configures on its own. no brainy stuff!

again, even with the fact that there is huge increase in software support for linux. still, if you find your favorite game/software not in linux, you tend to turn to windows options... and it comes to xp/vista!

linux also has os compatibility issues!! u may not be able to run single executable in all distros & versions...

i would really prefer mac over windows/linux. coz i've seen that even novice user can get it working anyhow! the designers have thought over it a lot!!!

well said man. Why shouldn't anyone compare Linux to Windows in temr of ease of use, when others can compare Windows & linux in terms of security, bugs, etc.

Lets not be fanboys people. Lets calla spade a spade. If Linux is difficult to use, then it IS difficult to use. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. Trying to hide it & ignore it, etc does no good to anyone.

Hi guys ,
I gave just reply to use "Linux" further and the discussions started abt Windows & Linux ,thread is regarding "Why Windows Vista Delayed"!!!

I am not opposing to use Windows.

BTW I started to put my hands on Linux and am little bit comfortable.There are many distros. like Mandrake or Suse ,Ubuntu ,Fedora which are easier to use so not at all any problem regarding usage ,they are very user friendly.As a newbies I am using Fedora. You can learn much more things.Also u can do everything which u can do on windows platform with a lot of softs available.I faced some problem and still facing newones but trying u r own or getting help on the forum makes things easy.If u want to do something u cant leave it just becoz it is hard or not easy to use.........

When u get something different you try to explore it ,samething is here.

I think Vista will probably be the last big Windows release. Looking at the speed at which GNU/Linux is growing, I think Microsoft's days as the dominant platform are numbered. Most of the growth of the Pc in the coming years will happen in third world countries like India/China. Propietary standards like MS, Apple, etc have little chance here. It will be assembled PC/GNU all the way.

Regarding Vista, I think I will have to use Vista anyway. FS X & Halo 2 are coming & will run best on Vista...so it is claimed.

hi ... i m posting after a long time ..

but as you all have to accept that truth that microsoft will continue to dominate the world .. ther is no issue about it .. because ms has made many of the things so easiest ..

and i m also wating for the vista to be released and hope i will have enough money to buy it !!!
