Default Windows Vista - What a piece of crap

I spent $2M on a brand new computer with Vista on it and nothing works. I
sent 72 problem reports and e-mails to Microsoft and never got a response. If
you are even thinking of getting Vista-DON'T, you will be wasting your money.
Now I have to spend even more money to get Windows XP which works perfectly
on my old 30 year old computer and a video card so I can download videos to
my new computer.

Yo, Richard...dude...I would love to sell you your next PC. It won't have
that Vista stuff on it...I'll throw in a copy of XP Pro. And for a limited
time I'll sell it to you for the low, low price of $1.5M. Yes, that's
right...a full $500,000 less than you paid for that other pile of junk and
*way* better than that PC you bought in 1977 (which you've managed to mod to
get it to run XP...impressive). So act now...my operator is standing by.

Hmm. 30 years old PC that runs Windows XP without any problems.

Obviously none of you clowns graduated from high school or have ever worked
in the financial community. The "M" stands for "Thousand" in finance not
"Million".

The computer was 30 years old not the xp operating system. That was put on
when XP first came out. You really are the dumbest bunch of people. lol

Don't know what M stands for. However, please explain how you can get a 30
year old computer (predates the 8086 by several years) to run XP.

I think that it would take at least 2 Million dollars to get a 30 year old
computer to run Windows Vista. I hate to admit it but I had a computer 30
years ago and it wouldn't even run DOS.
