How FM use impacts purchasing decisions

[Butler, Darren J CTR USAF AFMC 584 CBSS/GBHAC]

If you are using FM in conjunction with a CMS such as Content@, be especially careful before switching to Vista. Make certain that you speak with your CMS Tech Support and NOT a sales rep.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts/experience on running a dual-boot machine with Vista and XP?

 

What "New Coke" did for Pepsi sales in the 80s and what the Chevy Vega did for Japanese auto sales in the 70s Vista may now be doing for Mac sales. That goes double for Office 2007.   ≡8^@

I was forced to switch to a Vista machine because my old laptop lost an argument with-as fate would have it- a Coca Cola Product. I tried everything but an exorcist to resurrect my “faithful ol' lappie”-believe me- but to no avail. Now, I’m considering time travel. 

 

If you have an  XP machine, savor it like the last of the summer wine.

I purchased a laptop with Vista last October. I am THIS CLOSE to 

chucking it and getting a Mac.

 

It's probably worth switching just to avoid Vista. If you can get XP, 

great, but if your choices are a) Vista or b) Mac, I'd definitely go 

with b, speaking from personal experience.
