French to English

I speak French! Kinda. Here’s the original article, and the Google translation:
“If you like your software better than Windows, keep XP at least a year more�, advises Chris Pirillo, on the site Windows Fanatics, by giving a long list of “tricks� for the difficult passage of XP to Vista.
“Your software will not go. Consider that if something goes under XP, there is a good luck that that does not function in the same way under Vista, because of new protections of safety�, explains Mr. Pirillo.
My buddy Chris Null gets Frenched, too:
“Microsoft would like that everyone adopts Vista immediately, but that would be a nightmare because the majority of the PC are not capable to make turn Vista, especially its most sophisticated functions�, specifies Christopher Null, technical adviser at Yahoo! , quoted by Orlando Sentinel.
I wonder if Victor’s errors have also been translated:
“Look at Vista, but wait later to buy it�, summarizes Victor Godinez, of Dallas Morning News, which tells its problems of installation: “my printer sends from now on every 10 minutes to me an error message�, many old programs are not compatible Vista, tells it.
And humor must be the international language, because I totally busted a gut after reading the last paragraph:
According to the American press, only some rare fans were at midnight in front of the CompUSA store of especially open New York for the launching of Vista, primarily to benefit from reduction on printers rather than to buy Vista.

Kinda reminds me of when I bought my first telephone answering/message machine in 1984. The choices were Code-a-Phone and Panasonic. The Pansonic had twice the features for half the price of the Code-a-Phone. However, the instruction booklet was written by a Japanese person who had so much trouble with English that it was ludicrous. I couldn’t understand the manual so I bought the Code-a-Phone, which had an easy-to-understand booklet, and I used ti for many years thereafter.
