Tribal Instinct

..and apparently a host of others.

I have wrestled with vista long enough, I'm going back to xp. Way too many troubles for my time at this point. I have read that entire corporations are downgrading from vista back to xp. Why a corp would have a new os before it's 1st or 2nd service pack is beyond me.

As I was slipstreaming a new build of xp install I found these 2 things that sum it all up.

You just joined the 1 % club.
Do less spend more.

Maybe Pork but at least he doesnt run a bad os like you

Installing Vista is like voting for Bush, for his third term!

Non, seriously, what were you thinking? There are only three possible reasons for you to make this mistake:

1) Getting fooled by an Internet scam ie Kate_Beckinsale_is_naked.com._______Vista_Install.exe

2) The kids were screwing around on your computer: found a Vista disk in the trash at school, put it in your CD drive to get payback for the sh*ty allowance you give them

3) Or you aim really IS as bad as I remember and you actually mis-clicked (something I'm not even capable of doing in my drunkest moment)

I'm so ashamed of you.

I know, I need to be ashamed.

Basically I had 2 machines I needed to put a "valid" install of winblows because of some comsulting I was doing and I had to pick buying either oem vista or oem xp. At the time I thought... well vista sucks but maybe they will have things patched up after a bit so if I'm going to buy a legitimate copy of windows, might as well get one that is somewhat future compatible. There is my stupid thinking, and I do mean stupid. Back to my corp xp install. <-- me hitting myself.

I officially blame microsucks main marketing interface to ti, law of averages. <-- me hitting law.

I love macs too pwter. I would like to own both.

Vista Ultimate is working fine for me.
