Vista - SUV parallels > personality traits of owners

Vista - SUV parallels

this keeps running around in my mind... vista is so.... SUV,
and the same people who like SUV's I am sure will like vista....

As SUV owners, the same personality traits are shared with those who like
vista,

I must note>>> The Auto Industry Says SUV Drivers Are Selfish
its something the auto industry is saying! lol

They tend to be people who are insecure and vain. They are frequently
nervous about their marriages and uncomfortable about parenthood. They often
lack confidence in their driving skills. Above all, they are apt to be
self-centered and self-absorbed, with little interests in their neighbors
and communities.

They are more restless, more sybaritic, and less social than most Americans
are. They tend to like fine restaurants a lot more than off-road driving,
seldom go to church and have limited interest in doing volunteer work to
help others.


PS. If you own an SUV, you suck....

PS.. In Canada's snow belt, a 4WD may be the only way to get anywhere at
all, hospital included.. what is selfish about that?

I can't argue whether or not people who like SUV's also like Vista, but
you're probably right. The inverse of that however is not true. I like
Vista. Ran it through the entire beta and it is now my main OS. I do *not*
like SUV's.

Then I support using SUVs in Canada that has snow.... That is logical!

But I have seen them in some places, cities and counties, with fantastic
weather,
and no parking space, and narrow roads...

this is clearly a problem.... and its because people want to feel "big" in
their cars, and lack greater ideals.

I would never want such a car if I didn't need it. Now if it was electric or
ran on water (this can be done by the way) I wouldn't care about size.. you
could drive a 20 wheel truck and I wouldn't care.. but these SUV's because
of their size are in the "truck" category, and that is why they don't have
to comply with the more strict emission regulations... that means more
greenhouse gases that creating global warming.

its a sad story.. and at the times when the artic and Siberia is melting...

I am afraid that global warming has a "runaway" nature.. not a few degrees
in 50 years as they say. What does this mean? This means that if we don't
change our ways fast, the world can be devastated in very little time...

While your post is interesting - where is the linkage between software and
transportation preferences? There is no point here. Volition gives us the
ability to make choices but does not govern what choices are made. It is
quite a leap from SUV to OS. What if a person drives a compact energy
efficient auto and uses Linux?

I have gone through all the beta testing of vista too....

but I still dont *like* it... Its ok... but it could be better...

"Some people see things as they are and ask why... I dream of things that
never were and ask why not".

This above phrase you probably know, is exactly what I am talking about...

vista could have been so much better

Thank you for not liking SUV's....

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. What a bunch of crap to say how a person is based
on a car he/she drives. Funny though.

SUVs do suck, and so do the people that drive them in cities, but Windows
has far too much market share to make generalisations like that.

ss.

PS. I bet Troy McClure drives an SUV!
