Alright this does it, MS can keep their Vista crap for all I care, I am going to stay with XP for as long as possible, I dont need any of their support I never has so they can keep Vista and I hapely stay on XP.

If more people would do this I am sure they get the message, dont get Vista when it comes out, just plain ignore it.

Actually, I’ve been using a couple of FreeBSD Unix servers to serve content out to the Windows and Linux machines on my network for years. I’ll just keep doing it that way for file based stuff (AVI’s MPGs, etc). I rarely watch anything “live”, or directly off the air or wire anymore.

I have to admit, this stuff isn’t trivial to set up if you don’t already know about such things, so a lot of people are stuck with whatever screwed-up model(s) microsoft and the media cartels come up with. That is unfortunate.
