Iowa says Windows Vista is worth the wait

The Microsoft Across America Tour has made it to Des Moines, Iowa, where a happy
group of 1,700 enthusiasts participated in an event debuting Windows Vista and
Office 2007. The DesMoines Register reports in the lead of the article:
"It's been a long time coming, but general reaction is that the new
Microsoft Vista operating system is worth the wait."

[I thought this was particularly interesting because in U.S. politics, the
outcome of the  Iowa primary is said to predict whether a candidate is going to
do well (or not) in other primaries. So if Iowa gives Vista a thumbs up, it
looks good for the rest of the country, too, right? :)]

tell them there in Des Moines that they're trailing the country right
now......by still fighting the antitrust suit against MSFT!

Hey John, they heard you! Here's a link from yesterday's Des Moines Register,
talking about 1100 opting out of the suit:

Maybe Microsoft Across America helped warm a few hearts...

Another update from the state of Iowa...looks like the lawsuit is settled and
things are going back to normal on the prairie:
