thinking about Vista

Just to amuse myself, I ran the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor last night:

There is no compatibility data available for this device. For more information, go to the device manufacturer's website or Windows Marketplace, or contact your retailer.	We don't support your laser printer anymore - go buy a new one.

We're not even going to tell you about all those third party applications on your system. Shame on you for not always buying from Microsoft, every time.

Based on this analysis, I've decided not to upgrade; my scanner and laser printer are working just fine now, thank you very much. Sure, all new PCs will force Vista upon us, unless you do like me and just buy a Mac instead.

Deep thought: I wonder if Microsoft counted on 2007 blogging when they made sales projections for Vista? Was blogging around when Windows XP was released?
