Well I have to totally disagree here. I really have nothing against Microsoft and every single post or reply I made in this forum will say the same. I even mentioned millions of times that I respect Bill Gates so much even with all his pluses and minuses. No one is perfect, but sure he is a marketing genius and always will be.
I am against Vista, against the OS that brought nothing good. Took the money out of my pocket and gave me nothing in return, that's what's killing me. Staying on my way of doing business properly, I wouldn't say it buttered my bread. What buttered my bread was my diligence and hard work, starting in this country from the scratch, from total zero... we had no money when we came here and nothing came out of blue sky. Not many people knows that, but it looks like I simply had to bring it out this time.
Another thing... the truth is most of my clients are not MS dependent. What we do here is 99% Apple related. 99% of our clients and marketing agencies we deal with asks us to give them Mac ready files, not Windows ready, they really never asked for anything like that. All our work is done using Apple machines here, and I am actually the only one that still has this Vista laptop on my desktop next to brand new iMac that I use most of the time. I keep this Windows machine just because I still have a lot of Flash source files here that needs to be transfered to Mac. I barely do anything with laptop anymore. Besides when I look at everything again, this job we do is totally not one platform (OS) limited and same goes for graphics in general. Flash is cross platform, so it works same in Linux, Windows and OS X.
This really has nothing to do with MS at all. It would be different if we were programming applications built specifically for the MS platform, bt we didn't. So I have to say my job has zero to do with MS.
