I agree. But did you see Bill's lies from WinHEC... WinHOKE... they
have
sold 40 million licenses of Vista (78% Premium) in just 100 days! Sorry, but
I almost puked--- what a liar. You know... everybody is buying it... you buy
it too... the folks I know who have it removed it... and of course Mke
Dell isn't even loading it... and every day you hear about 1 or two more
entities dropping Windoze... so I'm not sure who these 40 million folks
are... probably just licenses laying in a box... like at DELL computer .

Right. But you know--- the ATI thing is just a carry-over from
windoze
days.... and ati admits it. And if you believe their hype they are going to
be doing something about it. I wrote them a letter and told them that my
X1050 would be the last card I buy from them unless they get serious about
delivering an open driver with support and source. I'm done with them.
