Almost no one is supporting Microsoft Windows XP x64, the 64-bit version of Windows XP.
There are no Antivirus programs that work with x64 and most applications won't work with x64 (unless they run the crippled 32-bit equivalent).
Programs won't install printer drivers because, apparently, no one can figure out how to write a 64-bit printer driver.
If Windows XP x64 has this much trouble with basic elements such as printer drivers, how can anyone expect the much maligned Windows Vista to be of any value?
Frankly, my high opinion of Microsoft is quickly fading away, and my shop used to be a staunch Microsoft shop.
Open Source alternatives are looking better and better every day.

The Economy Sucks and the Media are Puppets
Don't be fooled by what you see on TV or hear on the radio or read in the paper...
The American Economy Sucks and is getting worse!
That's right. We are headed for another recession and this time it's going to be pretty dreadful. No matter what the lying political machine in Washington would have you believe, no matter what the puppet media spews from its sewer of falsehoods and misrepresentations, all signs from the future economic indicators are pointing to a coming economic disaster.
In spite of the misdirection plays being executed from the political high-chairs in our nation's Capitol with name-calling, scandalous interplay, secret indiscriminate behaviors being exposed, and other typically expected bone-head moves from our ELECTED officials, the coming financial collapse of our economy is building a full head of steam and is going to come barreling down on us as we have our collective heads up Washington's posteriors, just the way they like it.
But is it really surprising that this should happen when we are being "lead" by the absolute worst President that this country has EVER seen? Then again, what would you really expect from an impertinent Republican? The current administration is certainly not going to make it easy for the next incoming administration, which by all accounts is going to be strongly democratic. In fact, it would appear that the Republicans are purposely creating a bad foundation for the next administration to make them look worse than the incumbent administration.
And the media are only reporting what they are told to report. They are only saying what they are told to say. They are spewing forth the lies and deceitful misrepresentations that they are being ordered to spread about. How can we blame them? Just like the blind leading the blind, the media is being lead around by its nose from the federal administration. And if they would dare to tell the truth (even if they knew what that was), they would risk being tossed in the pokey without being given a reason and labeled combatants.
This is what America has become.
How sad it makes me.
How embarrassing for this country.
How ashamed we all must be.
As the Bush administration erodes our civil liberties piece by piece, and the yes-men in congress follow the trail of ignorance, we as the citizens and backbone of this country are being reduced to nothing more than pieces of voting meat. Even our votes don't have any meaning any longer; not since the last federal election where the popular vote lost to the Electoral College even though the popular vote had greater numbers. It's the good ol’ boys club in the Capitol that are running things, not the citizens of this country, the ones that pay for everything (one way or another).
But at least we still have free speech.
For now.
Until that, too, is taken away as well.
