Unhappy Anti Vista
We are getting way to many replies about removing Vista as it is worthless in the poster's opinion.
Could we have the MODs and Admin's remove such as they do NOT add to the thread and some of the OP's are not getting much help.

I admit I am guilty of some wordy come backs to some of the anti Vista posts which adds to fuel to the fire.

I know that a MODs job is not easy as I am a MOD at another site and we do have to interject at times when we do not want to.

The best thing to do would be to report such situations for review by the moderators. While it may be difficult to enforce globally as everyone is entitled to their opinion, I agree that if someone is asking for help with any specific software, a reply saying to remove it because it's no good doesn't help them much. But this type of response is not Vista specific. We get this for other software as well....Norton comes to mind. It would have to be assessed on a case by case basis.

Of course, with Norton I happen to agree with those that say remove it!

Me too but that was my first thought.

However, I have to agree that Dave has a point, even though I dump on AOL whenever I get the chance.

Thank you both for you thoughts. There are a few posters that only post about the removal of Vista. I will try and keep a eye out so I can let you know.
Again thanks and for providing a great site.
