  • "Maybe it isn't Vista's fault / Maybe it's software developers' fault"

    If a major car manufacturer one year made every new model get about 5 mi/gal and advertised that it required all gasoline put in it to have an octane rating of 89, but actually was very unstable at anything below 92, is it the petrochemical companies' fault when people's cars start exploding on the highway daily?
  • Certainly not. But, in the same vein it is Mac os's fault that when I try to install digsby on it it doesn't even recognize the executable.

    The problem here isn't that the software doesn't work but that we see the os as an upgrade. At the very least it is microsoft's fault for offering that misperception.

  • The current recommendation flying round the Mac OS X community (for those using Fusion) is to install Windows Server 2008; apparently it runs a lot smoother than Vista. I hope to be able to testify to this at the weekend, but if you want to try then a trial version can be downloaded from the MS site.
