Think all the way back to the beginning of Windows & for the most
part every other OS didn't do that well.
I remember being at the U of Louisville when DOS 5.0 came out and one
of help techs at the user center saying, "Finally, a version of DOS
that actually looks like an operating system." My first experience
with Windows sometimes later was very under whelming, to say the
least. Even after I bought my first home computer in '95, that came
with WFW3.11 (months before Win95 was released), I spent most of my
time at the DOS prompt. There wasn't much I could, or even wanted,
to do in Windows at that point that I couldn't do at a DOS
prompt. Win95 was the first version of Windows that changed that for me.
Sure there shall be the group of geeks, gurus & admins that scoff it up...
I guess I'll be one of those geeks that will just have to have some
flavor of Vista, even if it means beefing up my hardware. I never
pass up an excuse to upgrade hardware, if I have the spare cash, and
sometimes even when I don't. <lol>
