    .... or the installers themselves

    either the geek-squads r going beyond imcompetence, or one should boycott best-buys vista pcs/systems

    the most ridiculous and uninformed and unprofessional "public service announcement" i ever read from a so.called computer outlet

    or if one really tries to put down vista, it is the most low.balled article that is ever being written

    cheers ...

    or just being nice, may be the geek squad team, being working so hard, underpaid and getting no appreciation, are being confused with 25 minutes set up vs 25 minutes boot up

    poor gals/chaps

    oops - thx for the article lunateck

    cheers ...

    Actually, when installing Vista business edition, I did notice one long period of blank-i-ness. Took around 3-4 minutes to come back to life. But I did think of turning it off.

    Vista is just a ploy to screw consumers out of their rights anyway
