Since there appears to be no news today, I decided to share something that happened to me today. I accompanied a friend on a trip to Office Depot to get a new power cord for a laptop (not mine.) My friend asked the sales person who found the power cord if it would be better just to get a new laptop, since the cord was so expensive. He turned the computer over, saw the XP license sticker, and replied that at least this laptop had XP, not Vista. Needless to say, I was quite surprised to hear a sales person implying that one should prefer XP to Vista. Of course, as we all know, there’s a better solution to this problem.
