Post #278,178 by Another Scott 3/13/07 8:25:11 PM Reply	Another tiny nit. Vista, and it's companion programs, Office 2007 ... - its. A rule to remember - If it can be replaced by "it is" then use "it's". If it's possessive, use "its". Similarly with "who's" and "whose", etc. I don't know if you want to mention a couple of other things: 1) Vista was apparently released early to satisfy the contracts with customers who bought Software Assurance (often under duress). 2) I believe the Business and/or Enterprise versions of Vista don't include DVD burning software. (I think I posted a link about that months ago, but I can't find it.) You'd need Home Premium or Ultimate but you can't get Ultimate on SA. So you have to buy burning software from another vendor.

The days of MS nearly dying on a crappy release are long gone. MS might be dying - and I don't think they are, more's the pity - but Vista isn't make or break, because Office continues to make what we scientists call A Very Large Amount Of Money. (Well, almost everywhere. My computer will be cheerfully running 10.5 by then.)
