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.

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".

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.

You graduated from HS, work in the financial community, and spent $2000 on a
computer that can't run Vista. This explains some things!

Wow! Do you realize that the first IBM PC was released in 1981? That means
that our friend has found a way to make Windows run on a Commodore PET,
Apple II or TRS-80. (These were the three "powerhouse" computers released
in 1977, so anything else available would have been of a lesser hardware
specification.)
I don't know about you but I must bow in genuine reverence to anyone who can
accomplish that feat.

I work in banking, and I know what the M stands for. I also know enough to
not use financial jargon in a general public setting.
You've made a common assumption about the error reporting tool that is
incorrect. It is there to gather information so that the most common
problems can be identified and corrected. If there is a fix available, then
the oca tool will let you know there is one. Otherwise, there will be no
response as the issues are not individually attended to.
Further to this, as this is a new machine, you should be exercising your
warranty if there are that many issues. If the issues are with software that
you desire to use with it, they should be addressed with the appropriate
vendor.
As well, XP was far from perfect at its release, and still is.

Your computer must be really high in equipment (Hardware) if you spent $2 thousand dollars.
Aside from that when you send those error reporting (oca) to Microsoft most likely you will not get a reply. Nobody does. This is for their own data and information
Maybe if you can post and explain your errors that you are encountering someone can help you to solve it.
Also if you post next time do not use financial signs as it can be miscued by many.

You are not here to complain but to insult people's intelligence and common
sense.
And you could ask for mercy by admiting your own careless mistakes, but
instead you insulted more poeple by saying..
> Obviously none of you clowns graduated from high school or have ever

So if you spent US$2,000 on a system without first verifying if it could
work as expected and when problem came out don't know how to contact the
vendor for support and/or return, you are an moron.
Nobody makes fun of you - you are embarssing yourself.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that I accept all of your apologies and forgive each
and everyone of you. There is no need to thank me or reply to this message as
this was my first and last time in this site. I have a great life that I must
get back too. God bless you all and keep you safe.

Richard,
I forgive you and thank you. You provided the biggest chuckle of the day.
Hows the old 8080 or Z80 or 8085 or 6502 or 6800 computer doing?
How did you get XP shrunk down to fit in the 65K address space of your PC?

This is very good advice. When people supply the fault information provided
in the Problems Reports and Solutions center in their posts here, it's
potentially possible to arrive at the problem and perhaps a solution.

Your computer must be really high in equipment (Hardware) if you spent $2
thousand dollars.
Aside from that when you send those error reporting (oca) to Microsoft most
likely you will not get a reply. Nobody does. This is for their own data and
information
Maybe if you can post and explain your errors that you are encountering
someone can help you to solve it.
Also if you post next time do not use financial signs as it can be miscued
by many.

What a lot of rot?
Noting works. Take it back or learn how to use what you buy.
A 30 year old computer has a 30 year old motherboard. Totally unable to run
XP so go tell your fairy tales elsewhere. Your upsetting the serious users.

You're kidding, right? 30 years old? Uh... I don't think the respondants are
dumb... don't think -any- version of Windows, not even 1.01, would run on a
30 year old 'puter.

And we all forgive you for posting about your 30 year old computer. And that
you need a video card to download videos.
Geez louise, buddy, if you'd posted something that made sense, someone might
have actually attempted to assist you but you flew off the handle right away
and started throwing insults around because folks got a chuckle from your
painfully inaccurate description of your problems.

Maybe but you're in OUR community now. When in Rome....
Also, if you think your XP computer is 30 (or Thirty and no/100 for
you check-writing types!) years old, you can't subtract. Were you

M
M [1]
informal abbreviation for million in expressions where the base unit is understood,
M [2]
the Roman numeral 1000, sometimes used in symbols to indicate a thousand, as in Mcf, a
traditional symbol for 1000 cubic feet. Given the widespread use of M to mean one million, this
older use of M to mean 1000 is very confusing and should be scrapped.

When you say "You really", do you mean everyone who hangs out in this
newsgroup Mr. Pot?
Why ya gotta be hating Dick?
30 year old computer, damn, lemme Google(tm) a computer timeline....
Ah, here we go... http://www.computerhope.com/history/196080.htm
1977 Ward Christansen develops a popular modem transfer modem called Xmodem.
1977 Apple becomes Incorporated January 4, 1977
1977 Apple Computer Inc., Radio Shack, and Commodore all introduce
mass-market computers.
1977 ARCNET the first commercially network is developed
1977 Zoom Telephonics is founded.
1977 Apple Computer’s Apple II, the first personal computer with color
graphics is demonstrated.
1977 Commodore announces that the PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) will
be a self-contained unit, with a CPU, RAM, ROM, keyboard, monitor and tape
recorder all for $495.00
1977 Microsoft sells the license for BASIC to Radio Shack and Apple and
introduces the program in Japan.
1977 BSD is introduced.
Holy Crap, you have Windows XP running on a Commodore PET/Apple II?! Damn
Dick, I am impressed.
If you don't want to learn a new OS, stick with XP Dick, XP is a great OS,
and unless you need Vista, don't upgrade. I don't think anyone will argue
with that logic. Most computer companies still offer computers with Windows
XP, return the one you bought and get one with XP pre-installed. Save
yourself some time and a headache.

Real professional advice, though I understand as the MVPs in this
group must be getting shell shocked with all the vista bugs being
reported.
No wonder M$ is working 24x7 to get Vista SP1 one out. They know they
screwed the pooch on this one. A beta of of SP1 less than six months
since the initial release.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yepers a great one.

XP SP1 was announced only a few months after XP's release. What's your
point?

Every version of every piece of software ever written has updates after
release. Get a life.

Richard was responding to a troll trying to stir trouble, there was no real
request for assistance. Have you never blown off steam?
Shell shocked? Hardly. XP's initial release was far worse when it came to
the number of issues. Keep in mind that at that time it was the initial
merger of NT security model and 9x multimedia. These Vista groups are
encountering less than 60% of the volume that the XP groups initially did.

Ever been there? They work 24/7 on everything all the time. A 60 hour work
week is the norm, not the exception.
