In my FO youth a wise old skipper once gave me some
valueable advice -
NEVER bid for a brand new fleet type
for at least 2 years until all the unforeseen surprises,
newfound bugs, SOP and QRH changes and all general
problems are finaly sorted out.
This worked well for me in the computer realm with that
Vista crap. Never touched it with a 10 foot bargepole.
W7 sounds good (just as Vista once did at its infancy). For
some, a computer is just a toy - those who go headlong
into a new OS (like Vista) when the old one worked just
fine - then b!tch and moan when it doesnt perform as
percieved, and spend weeks trying to tune the new OS to
a standard the old one once provided. The smart ones
watch these shenannigans first, then decide later.
I have XP which works just great and Im sure others do
too - if it aint broke dont fix it!
