DELL Market Share Spiralling Downwards

[Richard Ford]

Windows - printers - drivers - eugh!

If you can't afford a crummy little ink jet printer - WTF are you  
doing splashing 500 bucks on a copy of vista.

If it is so important, get a small, cheap post script compatible laser.

But as you say - painting into the corner.  Who in their right minds  
upgrades to anything after it just comes out if it is very  
important.  I personally wait 1 month for with new apps that I host,  
then run them internally for another month or so before I deploy them  
for clients.
