It'll turn up on my work PC at some point, I'm sure; but I don't give a monkey's about that, because as stated elsewhere, I'm paid to use that and the maintenance of it is SEP. At home? Nah. No point.

Post #277,719 by Steve Lowe 3/8/07 11:39:06 AM Reply	Aye. Eventually our customers will be running it. We've tested our apps on it successfully, so no real reason for us to upgrade yet. IF it can run in a VM, I'll probably buy a copy a year or two down the road. The cool thing is, we support our apps on Windows, Linux (Ubuntu), and Mac OS X. Many of our customers are switching to Macs and some are starting to use Linux. Only one has definite plans for Vista this year. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]
Post #277,766 by lincoln 3/8/07 4:25:40 PM Reply	Ditto The owner is extremely pro-MS, so are the contractors that the VP really likes (they wrote our corporate web site), and our all-in-one IT guy is anti-Linux, anti-Oracle DB, anti-open source. So we'll go to Vista but not too soon. Right now our main targets will be upgrading to SQL Server 2005 and Office 2007. At home I have no desire to advance beyond XP Pro which, on the face of it, isn't too bad. But since ASP.Net & VB.Net pay the mortgage, I have to have at least one box at home with MS on it. lincoln "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a *Citizen* of the United States. [link\|mailto:golf_lover44@yahoo.com\|contact me]
