While I agree that Vista has it's problems, I think they are probably going to get shot down on this language being in a state budget document. You need hard facts, not nebulous statements like "it has bugs" and "it's incompatible with hardware", before you can ban a product like that. (They need approval before they buy it? What if the computer they buy comes with it pre-installed? Do they need approval then? What if no "XP-downgrade" is available from that vendor?) My bet is that Microsoft will challenge it, and the state supreme court will toss it out. (If it even gets that far.)

Having said that, Vista sucks in my opinion, and of the 6 computers I have control of in my house, all 6 are running XP. (7th machine is my son's laptop, which has Vista... But it's his and he likes it, so I let him keep it that way - sigh.)

Man I love Texas. I sure will miss it when I move. Said state rep probably got a new computer and had problems with Vista because it wouldn't run Deer Hunter III or some other oddball redneck app and decided to 'git micorosoft back'. I dunno about it being struck down - we have *alot* of odd ball regulations.

I have no doubt that this will pass as is. Those Texas folks can be pretty crazy
