Vista Price Cut Hype

When have you ever known Microsoft to have a big sale?

Is it because the last OS they cranked out is crap! Can you say V-I-S-T-A?


The "smarts" at Microsoft are announcing a price cut for standalone packages of Windows Vista. The cuts range from 20% - 50%, of course the amount consumers will save depending on the country they live in, and version of the software.

And get this "special" pricing for the U.S. only - a full, retail copy of Windows Vista Ultimate has been reduced 20% to $320 from $400. The upgrade version of Ultimate reduced $220 from $260, and the full version of Vista Home Edition reduced to $130 from $160. Still an expensive crap sale - and what about all those people who paid top dollar for Vista?

I'll still run XP til my computer dies. Rather than create a better OS than XP, they have come out with crap that takes up all your space, will not run the software YOU want, and your new computer will actually run slower than you old one. In other words, Vista sucks big time! Even if they gave a FREE Vista upgrade, I would still walk away.

Try and find a Vista lover - you will be looking for awhile, cause I haven't run across anyone that likes it.

So is this why Microsoft is offering a bigger sale to the rest of the world than they are offering here in the U.S.? Do they think that consumers outside the U.S. have not heard this OS is all hype, and delivers nothing?

If you're from outside the U.S. and reading this, and don't know - please stay far away from the Vista box sale. Just something else to give America a bad rap.

Microsoft has lost its way, and thinks consumers will just accept what it puts out because every new PC has the Vista operating system. What they have accomplished is running Vista customers to their competitor Mac. Nothing like running your customers to the competition!

Computer PC manufacturers better wake up - nobody here in the U.S. wants a new computer loaded with this crap - so you guys need to address your exclusive relationship with Microsoft.
