Robert, I agree! But....I disagree with the "shooting" him/her (lol....so that makes me 1. Half liar  2. Half idiot).  I am optimistic and my “personal” opinion is that everyone deserves a second chance ;-)<br><br>BTW  The fact that your opinion "differs" from Esther, does not make you a liar or an idiot. Nope! I refuse to believe the world is full of liars and idiots.  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sophie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 10:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Robert - I still have a PC (unfortunately) however my daughter experienced the Apple while visiting her cousins one summer just before graduation from HS. She recognized it's total flexability, reliability and great customer support.  She is one of these kids who was allowed to do her first 2 years of basic college courses and her last 2 years of HS at the same time.  We promised her a car for college.  She choses to make her priority to get a top of the line Apple Laptop.  She has had 2 minor problems, fixed within 24 hours and she would give up her boyfriend I think before you could get that Apple away from her or force her to use a conventional PC.<br><br>Personally, I have and use a PC becasue I'm to old to learn anything new and the limited use make it cost effective.  I have XP Professional and Office Professional.  I really don't truat anything Microsoft says anymore.  VISTA was a nightmare and they appaerntly knew it when it came out and they had all the patches ready.<br><br>With the NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT of companies like Dell HP and the other converntional builders I have found I can have a custom computer by a reputatable company with 5 years experience and REAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT at no additional charge in there 3 years unconditional warranty that allows them to take over a person or companies computer from a remote locating fix fix it right while you watch on the screen.  The is an American company staffed by people of several nationalities who all speak understand able English in addition to the our language.  All this of 3% to 5% less that even amazon or Wal-Mart prices/  Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see which way to go when looking to buy a new computer]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 10:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember the Windows Millenium debacle?  XP is what followed that so there is real hope that Windows 7 wll be the same sort of forward step from Vista.<br><br>Yes there are things that Mac does "better" but the same can be said for XP over Mac.  People who switched to Mac probably just wanted one - which is fine.  I've been looking at adding a Mac too for a variety of reasons.  But wouldn't it have been cheaper (and maybe easier) to just remove Vista and install XP rather than buy a new computer?<br><br>My daughter is a Mac lover and has been a loyal fan for years but even she wil admit it's not a perfect system either.  So it boils down to "You say po-tay-toe; I say po-tah-toe"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diana Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 12:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[HAHAHAHA..!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[esteem]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 1:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[seems to me all new operating systems have problems when they first come out, that's why I don't buy into all the hype and rush to have the latest thing.  I've never had a problem with Windows.  I've been using  Micosoft Office 2003 for four years now and have never had any trouble. (yes, I realize it's been 5 years since 2003, but like I said, I don't rush out.  I needed a new computer after Hurricane Jean 4 years ago).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MICHELLE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[I totally agree, I bought a new computer, with vista on it., nd have had nothing but trouble getting in my games.

My old one died and had XP, I would have been happy to continue with XP, but it was no longer available and all I could get was Vista! At least that was what I was told by the sales clerk, "All we have is Vista." So as you can imagine I really hate Vista, because I had to wind up buying two computers instead of one!!!! I will NEVER trust Microsoft again!! I have since met someone who worked for Microsoft in Seattle, what he told me abot that place would make your hairs stand on end. No thank you, I'm sticking with my MAC!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 8:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[What? pray tell is the company "name"that "Robb" below is refering to when he states that he can get a custom computer from an American Company that affords him the ability for them to fix or diagnose a problem thru the pc  connection (other companies do that)and also has "real live customer support for 3 years at no additional charge"..see below,<br>With the NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT of companies like Dell HP and the other converntional builders I have found I can have a custom computer by a reputatable company with 5 years experience and REAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT at no additional charge in there 3 years unconditional warranty that allows them to take over a person or companies computer from a remote locating fix fix it right while you watch on the screen.

Remember Windows Millenium & Windows 2000?  I can't wait until I can actually afford a Mac & I can dump everything Microsoft, it's been nothing but trouble since Win 95 was dropped, and even that wasn't all that good]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Glynne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2009 6:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Linsay go home to your mother RIGHT NOW!!!!

She should be back with her mother ASAP and request to see her birth certificate immediately.  Megan with capital "M" is a proper name. Typing "megan" could be mistaken for an adjective (confusing the hell out of her sugar daddy) and Solo12 equally mistaken for IQ12.  However, the question remains "Was she fully conscious whilst typing her personal ad?"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sophie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 10:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hate hate hate hate hate Vista!!

Liars or 2. Idiots.  If you didn't like Vista, then the logical thing would be to go back to XP.  If you switched over to Mac, it is because you wanted to buy a Mac--not because of Vista.  I think MS coming out with a new OS that is a better version of Vista is a good idea.  Vista does have its share of issues, but the anti-Vista media hype is completely ridiculous.  It is to the point where people who don't know anything about Vista complain about it.  Windows 7 may be an enhanced version of Vista (which I think is the right step in the right direction), but all of you Mac yahoos better not even have anything to say about it....how many times has OSX been enhanced...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Esther]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 7:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Instead of incoveniencing all PC users, just fix XP.  As others have expressed their angst (anger) with MicroSoft, I'll add my two cents worth.  I'm not a fan of MS anymore and do not care for their heavy handed approach to its customers.<br><br>The last update I received from MS caused several of my peripherals not to work (CDplayer, some games and MSOffice (an older version).  I am not going to buy a new computer everytime MS thinks they want me to.  I am sure that my next computer will be a Mac, although I would prefer to maintain the XP system that I have now.  <br><br>I've quit updating with MS updates because I believe that they have figured out how to totally screw up people's computers with their updates making a necessity to buy their "newer, latest and greatest" operating system.<br><br>Shame on you MicroSoft!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 12:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not sure which update you are referring to Sim, but no MS update has ever caused me any issues.  And what do you mean that an update caused your CD player from working?  Are you referring to your CD Rom drive?  Updating the OS has nothing to do with the drive.  You may have corrupted your drivers and that is why drive stopped working.  As for Office--I don't know of any updates that caused Office to stop working either.  Just because you have a bad experience with Windows, doesn't mean Windows is a horrible operating system.  Unlike Macs, Windows has to be compatible to various hardware.  Apple builds its own hardware, which is why you see less driver related errors.  <br><br>The point I am making is that there is no OS out there that is 100% than any other.  All have their strengths and their flaws.  You choose your OS by figuring out what strengths you need and which flaws you can live with.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bastion78]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 6:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[how stupid of you to assume you know why someone you dont even know chose to do something<br>if they said that is why...then that is why<br>dont go around calling people liars because it only makes you look ignorant]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 7:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What's New in Windows 7?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/whats-new-in-windows-7/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh yes Pat and have you heard someone buying a Mercedes because their headlight in their BMW doesn't work?
