Before you are allowed to predict that Win7 will be so bad, you need to list
all the stuff that's wrong with Vista.

I did a bad thing: I installed Linux on a new laptop running Vista. I had done
this before with other versions of Windows no problem. Now Windows fails to
start. It just sits at the blue screen. Repair mode does the same. Googling

Vista is not so bad unless you want to run legacy software..
Of course I want to run legacy software. Workflows have been developed
over many years, sometimes decades. I don't want some punk programmer
telling me I have to re-engineer my business.

Correct. You need to download and install version 3.

Now, if FF3 were Vista, that would be phrased differently:

I remember that most Windows install CD's include a way to repair the master

Can that virtual folder be readily backed up? I.e., is the location of the

If Tom were to use virtualization, he'd be better off doing it
on a Mac or Linux machine, because virtualization is notoriously
buggy and runs with too much overhead on Vista. However,
if he is running the legacy software as one of his primary
applications, he would be adding a layer of

This was in Apple's Burlingame store. Most of the stores in Silicon

This solution to my quandry clearly cost Apple a fair amount of
money, but they obviously wanted to keep a long time customer happy
and figured that an investment in that would be worth it to them.
About 10 years ago we installed a Moen kitchen faucet. They promise a
lifetime warrenty.
I think they changed that rule, hence apple's increasing market share...they
finally realized in all their glitter and ego that if they want NEW
customers they can't treat them like crap.

So, Vista is useless because I have to run legacy software. OS X is fine
