How many people know this about Vista?

From http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot...p?id=193#body:
"I think the most disappointing thing for me is that part of me wants
to like Vista, because there are a lot of interesting APIs and kernel
features that really do improve system performance and make it easier
to write for Windows"
Many of them even work on older computers, and I doubt these features
are why Vista is bloated. That is why I suggested trimming down Vista
once.

How Many People Know About Vista? I Would Say About 5,000. Maybe More.
Just FYI

Go Away Impostor, Just FYI.

The main thing you need to know about Vista is that it is poorly
written. A time honored tradition that goes back to the first version
of Windows. Vista is the classic example of bloatware. Millions of
lines of code much of which are unneccessary or poorly intergrated.

Take one example most are familar with; Windows Explorer. It is
sluggish, painfully slow and redundant.

Hello,

I am a doctor. How long have you been having these delusions that there are
imposters lurking around?

This is a forum and there are just posts here. There have never been
imposters lurking around these forums. If you wish, we could set up some
sessions and you could come in and we could talk over your mental problems.

Please let me know,

I do care,

Thank you,

The Pyschiatrist

The bloat is really apparent if an XP machine is "upgraded" to Vista
which I would not recommend. But buying a new machine with Vista
installed, it is fine. What is sad is that Microsoft puts out an O/S
that will run on only a small percentage of PCs. It is unfortunate
there is not a "Vista Lite."

He has no where else to go.


Rich

Windows Vista is designed for powerful computers, it consumes alot of
disk space and alot of memory. However, it is a great OS and now HDD
start from 80 GB and more until 1TB I think that windows Vista will be
the first OS after a short period.
