Good News

I went to the doctor last night and he told me that I was doing great with my new diet and I had lost 8 lbs. I didn't think it was so great but he told me it was good to loose it slow and not all at once. It shows that the medication is working and he didn't have to increase the dose. That made me happy as a clam till I got home and found out that some software that I use will not function in Vista so good buy Vista because the software if for Photography and that is what the computer is for not for playing with new operating systems. I think it is time for MS to get on the stick and figure out how to make an OS that has security built in and not make a mess of things at the same time. I think that the big plan at Microsoft is make stuff that works for them and if it doesn't work for other companies tough they can make an upgrade. How about this Bill when you pay out good money for software that doesn't work in the new OS who needs it. I will stick with XP till you can figure out how to make an OS that does work. I think I'm going to have to wait for my next life for that to happen or just spend more time in Linux. Only thing is I'm kind of hooked on Photography and not to many programs I use have Linux versions. FYI for you Microsoft fans Linux runs faster than XP or Vista and just as easy to use if not easier. It didn't take me long to figure it out and I'm far from a rocket scientist. I use Suse Linux and you can download it or buy it for $4 and it comes with just about anything you can think of needing. You have photo viewers and programs that will do just about anything you want to do with an image just no Photo capture and that is what I'm trying to learn how to use at this moment in time. Nice thing about Linux is it works and the best part is it doesn't cost a ton. Most of the software that does run in Linux is FREE or low cost very unlike the trash they sell you for XP and Vista. Linux has a bit of a learning curve but inside a month you should feel at home with it and on your way to trouble free computing. Now back to praying some one writes some capture software for Linux :)
