Windows People,
I hate to say it but we can already do all these things without windows programs and its usually alot safer than using windows anything.Vista is just a xp with a face lift.like win2000 was to win98se.You guys should fix the problems with the crap you already have oon the market instead of making new crap for us to deal with.The malware fix thats just funny;there will always be ways to make new and bigger viruses.You wont be able to fix them because you cant fix the ones we have with your other windows programs.Bill Gates should stop while he’s ahead.Maybe sneak in to another business and steal it like he did the internet deal.lol Maybe he could take over the Ford company and Bring back the EXP.haha!Anyway this is a lame name Vista;is it pretaining to www.vista.com because i dont think they will like their trademark ruined by Bill Gates!Has it got something to do with http://genome.lbl.gov/vista/index.shtml.I know bill dont want to screw with the government.lol
has it got anything in common with these:

Bottom line you need common sense to do your advertising not the nerds that build the programs.The name of it is the most lame of all windows.Should have called it Windows HO for Hacked Often;or Windows HIV because it always has viruses even from the factory.
Nice letting you know what the real public thinks.I’m no programer or hacker or virus maker;I’m the consumer not just another nerd.We really need you to worry about the problems you already gave us,that we’ve spent hundreds of dollars on to keep them running.
Peace out,T.Bone
