Boy, Vista's been around six months and you've already come to that
conclusion as to what it says about people?
Before Vista, what was your hiring litmus test? If a potential employee
liked XP was he out of luck in your case?
It seems to me that one of the problems Windows has been up against from the
beginning is that it gets swiped at from both sides. There's the view best
expressed by the PC/Mac commercials, where Windows users (even pre-Vista)
are shown as being stuck with a system where they constantly have to deal
with these little tweaks and quirks. Finding and installing drivers,
adjusting this, playing with that, rebooting, reinstalling etc. A Mac is oh
so simple, the commercials say.
Then there are folks attacking it from the other side, saying Windows is a
Fisher-Price operating system, too much like the mindless Mac operating
system, not giving users complete control over what it is their computers
do.
I'm not accusing the OP of taking part in this. It's just that his/her post
reminded me of that subject. I don't care if people attack Windows; that's
their prerogative. It just seems to me that lots of times the critics team
up and attack it from opposite sides. A Mac user who finds any flavor of
Windows too complicated to deal with would be overwhelmed if they had to use
Linux, for example. Yet, Linux and Mac users don't seem to mind joining
together to bash Windows. Just doesn't seem like a very fair or illuminating
battle.
