You're right about Vista, but 7 was a mature product on release. Chris Bartlett

Balogna! - Re: plans for an updated Lone Wolf Was Vista better than XP? Is Windows 7 better than Vista? Am I right in that Windows 7 came out to be Vista with the bugs worked out? And was Microsoft already working on Windows 8 when 7 came out? One thing I would like to see, if Microsoft insists on continually coming out with a new OS time and time again, is that they quit rushing them to market before the bugs are worked out, and give us a solid stable product that has thoroughly been tested and proven to be stable and reliable, rather than a junky troublesome buggy product. I know the task would be massive, and I know it would take an enormous amount of time and effort, but it would sure do a lot to regain the credibility they once had, and it would also be more readily received by the customers. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <thomasward1...@gmail.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 4:28 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] new technology?
