Vista Ready?

Okay Dan here is my understanding. Since there is no \"w\" in the Polish language it would actually be pronounced Ko-voll-chek in Polish or Ko-wall-zick in English. You would not believe how many people get the case of the stutters when they try to pronounce my last name when they read it.
Here are a few other words you may have heard. I will spell them phonetically since I can't spell them correctly in Polish:
Yak sha mash - How are you?
Dobe zah - Good
Jen koo ya- Thank you.

Yeah, I knew the \"w\" was pronounced \"v\" (and \"v\" is pronounced \"f\", right?).

Here are a few other words you may have heard

Ummm, nope, can't say that I have.

I'm building a whizbanger computer right now just for eCabs, and when I get done it's definitely getting XP. The way I figure it, the computer will be obsolete (again) before XP is. Microsoft is officially supporting it till 2009 I think.
Mostly though, Vista is a resource-hog of an OS... you'd need a more powerful computer to run the same program on Vista as opposed to XP.... so they say.

Hey Michael -chuk! I'll go there... my newest pet project is to get eCabs to run with WINE.

When Windows XP came into being I hesitated for over a year. I was glad I did. This proved to be a good thing as the XP had many issues.

Windows Vista, not only is not supported but so many people in the \"real homeowner world\" think Vista is the \"bomb-digity\". But they don't realize in the corporate world, corporate leaders don't rush out and make a stupid purchase into the Vista OS. So many issues and no time to experiment. That's a waist of time, money and energy.

There are so many software packages out there that do not function properly on Vista. Like Quick Books for example, some of the software works while other parts do not. Why put your company in the risk of a major melt down?

Have we any idea why?????

One day Vista will be ready for e_cabinets. But untill that day comes... I'm XP all the way.

For what ever it's worth, I'd like to see it run on Linux \"Sabayon\"
