With 7 years to work, how can things be so bad?

I own Windows Vista Ultimate. My personal experience has been good, no major
problems to speak of. I will, however, say that it's very disappointing how
many people apparently have had problems. God knows I hate seeing people
flock to Mac OSX, because I hate it with a passion. But, MS had to go and
concentrate on the "look" of Vista, rather than just the usability,
stability, and compatibility issues. Real computer people don't care about
"Aero" type of visuals...just give us something we can work with that doesn't
require a lot of upscale hardware. Make it easy, functional, and above all,
not annoying. I changed a LOT of the basic setup on my Vista setup, because
I could care less about the bells and whistles that only suck the life from
my system. Let the Mac losers have their "pretty", yet annoying OSX.
Don't make Windows "pretty", just make it solid and usable. PLEASE keep this
in mind for Vista's successor......and for God's sake, don't wait 7 years to
produce it, or we might live in a *gasp* Mac-centric world. That would
really suck...

Don't go there. I told you a million times already.
He is waiting on Windows 7, which will be better and hopefully faster than
this one.
I agree ubuntu has a pretty inteface. It could be better if they put it all
on DVD with a multimedia center and drivers for graphic chips, sound cards,
and multimedia video cards

It's difficult to see what the problem is. Vista defaults to bells and
whistles which, for the most part can be turned off as you have done.

So, as Vista is supplied, you are happy because you had the option not to
have the bells and whistles, and those who like the bells and whistles are
happy too..

Wrong. Wrong answer. That is so stupid. If he doesn't like Vista then he
can use XP. Simple solution. All his applications will still work with XP.
He doesn't need some dumb-a$$ toy like Ubuntu that would cripple his
productivity.

the bells and whistles are welcome if you have an underlying platform that
is good...

Vista is very far from being good. The best it could be, is "tolerated"

It's UAC that's causing problems.

Is this just some wishful thinking, or do you have some kind of inside scoop
on Windows 7 ... where it's at in its development, what it's capable of
doing, etc. etc? You can hope all you want, but that won't necessarily make
it so. Microsoft had years to put out Vista and look at the mess they came
up with. :-)

Cheers.
