XPublicans vs. Vistacrats

It looks like just when the Presidential race is heating up with the Democratic nominee fighting against John McCain, another divisive race will be heating up as well, XPublicans against Vistacrats. Another race with conservatives against liberals, traditional vs. cutting edge. It will be war!http://ceoec.ru/

July 1, 2008 will be the beginning with everyone taking side, with some being moderate and being open to each camp.

We all know that Microsoft are all Vistacrats, that’s easy, how about the everyone else:

-Computer manufacturers — I don’t know, maybe Vistacrats in order to sell new, expensive hardware to everyone, but maybe moderates once sales of new computers fall dramatically in July 2008 and force Microsoft to allow XP sales indefinitely.

-Software companies – Vistacrats, how else can you get users to buy you new software unless the old version won’t work on Vista. Why else would you buy new software when it works fine (hello, Intuit)?

– Businesses — XPublicans, no doubt. Why buy expensive new hardware to run something that has not one benefit for business users. (Possibly hyperbole.)

– Consultants/indie computer stores – XPublicans. How can we make businesses happy with Vista? I think downgrades to XP is the only way to please.

– Tech media – XPublicans, that’s been shown already: http://slashdot.org/~twitter/journal/177855

– Home users – Moderates, some users just need internet and that doesn’t matter. Some savvy users will be ticked and will stay with XP.

– Games – XPublicans for sure. XP = fast; Vista = slow, hmm?

My advice — stick with XP!
