By Blocking Vista (Alisa Longhorn) future software technoloies will stall,

Only by experimenting with new ways of using old software wether that means patching or service packs for a operating system be it
Red Hat Linuxs
Mandrake 10.2 beta
Susu Linux
Mac's Tiger
Microsoft XP
Microsoft Windows 2003 server 1
Microsoft Data centre 2003 server
Microsoft Vista

can one come to a new age in developement so far to date all software developments have been only possible where new hard developement has evoled ie Processor (CPU) has made progress.

Currently from what i have seen in all software is that flaws are every where compability is the major flaw with Linuxs and Windows machines exposing security holes to just not working on some hardware devices,

If we are to see some major advancements everyone must jump aboard their favourite software vender be it Microsoft or Linux and really push for these changes stop bitching and put your ideas forward.

Their is both money to be made for some while others just what to share their ideas regardless of who design the end product even some people are willing just to give their ideas away without the copyright issues involved,

One must choose their way of doing things first port of call is security
second reliability
third stability
fourth compability
five preformance
sixth improvement on desktop shell
seven applications within the operating system design
eight networking capability and a new IP Addressing System
Nineth fun games on every OS that people in the home can play while for Business minded games designed so as to improve their minds power.
Tenth for developers and programmers new ways of testing their work without worrying about crashing their computers
Eleventh Anti-virus software companies need to really improve their games with self updating software detection that can patch, replace and fix infected system files and third party software (this means software that can go to microsoft website or a website that has updating servies for the installed product locate the new updates and display a message alerting the user to them and what the update is for)

Twelveth users who like Linux, mac or Microsoft need to help prevent security attacks by investigating what progams they have brought, or about to install and use,

It is no good whinging if you are not prepared to put suggestion forward

And to all you viruses writing backdoor, keylogging designers get off your back sides and stop stealing peoples idenity and money you are not helping anyone but are pushing up the cost of computering for everyone and adding to the unlucky users debt.

Use some common sense technology does not improve on its own we must make it happen
