Ed!

Then, U Would Agree w/Me That, Windows Vista Is a "NIChe" OS! ...4 a Very,
VERY Small Group of Computer Users! ...& What's REALLY NEEDED Is Windows Live
DeskTop For The VAST Majority of Computer Users!

We Can Agree On This, RIGHT!

"I don't know. The general-purpose computer has had more resilience than I
would have thought. The question is, What do we want to do with the fusion of
our mobile devices, our PCs, and the Web itself? We're in the early stages of
that. When I work with groups at Microsoft, I say that when you're
envisioning the user environment, don't tell me what the next desktop is
going to look like. Tell me how I'm going to use the desktop with my other
devices tied together by the Web."

Sometimes the best reality check you can force upon yourself is to unplug
your net connection and see how effectively you can still perform your
day-to-day tasks.

I don't *want* something that becomes a paperweight if you happen to be in
an area without a permanent, always-on broadband connection. There's still
plenty I can do with Vista while offline, thank you very much.

I personally haven't gone broadband until earlier this year. Some days I
miss having *that* security. :-p
 
Sorry, no.

Vista is the latest Windows and is targeted towards the average user.
Whether they like it is another story, but that's the basic target.

Users need their own PC and OS, be it 98/2000/XP, or others.

If I Were From Another Planet & Stopped-In Here, On Earth In My SpaceShip, & Wanted To Check My Web Based/OnLine, E-Mail...

...& I Asked, "What Do I Have To Do To Check My Web Based/OnLine, E-Mail?"

...& The Microsoft Guy Said, "U'll NEED...

...A Vista Premium Ready PC will take advantage of Vista's "high-end" features but will need at least a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB main memory, and an Aero-compatible graphics card with at least 128 MB graphics memory and supporting the new Windows Display Driver Model."

...Jus'To Check My Web Based/OnLine, E-Mail...

I'd Say To Him,... Your're C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

This Is The Problem!

Over The Years, Most If Not All, The Things That, I Use My Computer For, Are NOW Available On The Net; OnLine, Web Based!

I Hardly EVER Use My Windows XP Operating System Except For Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) To Get To/Access My OnLine/Web Based Services.

Now, I Mostly Use My Windows XP Operating System For My Digital Pictures & The Occasional Notepad (Document)... But, I'm Now Able To UpLoad Directly From My Digital Camera To The Web & There's Plenty of Office-Like Web Based Applications ALREADY Available OnLine!?

I Have Programs That, Make Use of My Windows XP Operating System (e.g. Paint Shop Pro, Adobe, etc....) But, Most, If Not ALL of These Programs That, Have To Make Use My Windows XP Operating System, ARE AVAILABLE OnLine/Web Based, NOW!!!

Why Am I Required, To Have, What I Call,... "A Big Ol'HONKerous Operating System (Windows Vista)" Jus'To Get OnLine, Where MOST E=V=E=R=Y=T=H=I=N=G, I Do, Is ALREADY Located/Accessable???

....When A "Light-Weight" Operating System That, Simply, Effectively Boots To Web, Where ALL My OnLine/Web Based Services ARE ALREADY LOCATED, IS ALL I REALLY NEED???

This Is What I Hope That, Windows Live Is About!

The Windows Live DeskTop! (A Light-Weight, Operating System, DeskTop For OnLine/Web Access/Browsing ...Effectively, A OnLine/Web OS "Viewer" For Computer Users, Like Me!!!)
