It's not about change. I'm a change agent. In my "real" job, I work for a company with 80,000 desktop computing devices worldwide. I manage a team that is responsible for the replacement of these devices when they hit their 3 year capital depreciation point. Vista is a hardware hog. And from a Corporate perspective, the overhead and system incompatibilities are expensive and not worth the benefits.

For the average home user, Vista may be fine for in all probability, you'll wind up keeping your desktop for more than 3 years. But for a corporation with literally thousands of applications that would have to be recertified and/or modified to work under the Vista platform plus the capital expenses to replace/upgrade, it is not cost effective.

In my opinion, Microsoft is getting lazy with their code. Years ago under DOS, you can run a computer with 16k (not meg) of memory and it did a tremendous amount. Today, the O/S is fat, not optimized and not efficient. Microsoft's view is simply to upgrade YOUR hardware to accommodate their fat O/S. Sure there are more bells and whistles but reality is....most will only use a fraction of what the O/S has to offer.

Nope....not about being afraid of change. It's about controlling cost both in the corporate world and my own pocket.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
