Reply to Corporate America’s rejection of Vista in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

meh, it's happened before. Vista's has the capability to be a great operating system, 4 or 5 years from now.

finally! im back at home, and between work and Brandi, im kinda tired, lol. she's resting for about a week and half, then she'll be good as new. thanks for the prayers and the kind thoughts. both of us really appreciate the sentiments that the WC community offered up. thought i'd also mention that, despite originally wanting a late spring wedding, we have moved the date of our nuptuals to February 17. so now she's laid up with a bunch of wedding crap to look through. i swear,
