i work for a PC retailer, bestbuy

the reason why they reccomend vista? because of the multimedia abilities
"you can attach a new digital camera, an mp3 player, a big screen tv, all to a multimedia center vista pc"

it makes money, although its hell for geeksquad... nothing is compatible, everything takes longer to accomplish, customers do not understand that when something is not compatible there is nothing we can do untill the vendo fixes the problem

the managers don't understand that either and we are getting sh1t for vista sucking so hard...

sry.. went off on a work rant

Vista has potential, but for the love of god if you depend on your pc for work or play stay away from vista for now
