    "It's not ME" is about the only good thing I can think of to say about Vista.

    Hehe, well that may be in your case.
    In mine it performed much better than ME and had mild improvements over XP in usability.
    But, I know some people have had issues, so I know my good experiences aren't shared by everyone.

    i selected the option

    "and what reason is it we have to celebrate in the first place?"

    vista was a misstep no doubt, but i think it just a bit presumptuous to think that 7 has fixed anything. i sure as heck would not trust a first release install with anything not backed up in triplicate.

    Oops, i forgot you were here.

    Something I struggle with, if super geeks hate Microsoft products so much why do they have parties when Microsoft release a new product?

    Well, from the results of the poll, I don't think there were many people throwing release parties;)

    It's an excuse to have a party.
    Generally, 'super geeks' don't have much of a social life, so anytime they can have a party, it makes them feel like they are 'with it', are 'socializing', and have a life.

    I went to a big Microsoft party in New York. It was for OS/2. Great party, great food, met Bill Gates and Gordon Letwin, everything free. Why wouldn't geeks go to a party like that. Shortly after the party Microsoft dumped OS/2 and rolled out NT.
