One Year of Using Vista -- It Does Nothing Better than XP For Me

Some people like Vista.

There is nothing in Vista that improves the way I work, and Office
2007 was so much worse than Office 2003 that I removed it.

I know Microsoft doesn't listen or care, but many people agree they
really failed to deliver the improvements people wanted in their new
software offerings last year.

I like Vista. Aero beats Luna any day, and I can finally get off that
classic theme I've been using since 1995. On a PC that can run Vista
and run it well it's a pleasurable experience. I've been using it at
work lately on a pretty powerful box and I've gotten spoiled by it.
You're right tho, there's nothing about it that improves my
productivity, it only makes that productivity more enjoyable to look
at.

Office 2007 runs great for me personally. People I know that have it
give it generally positive reviews. The ribbon is a little weird but
I'm getting used to it.

I find that XP Windows Media Player has so many problems
that I switched over to Ubuntu.

their word processor makes RTF documents, the audio player works,

all the parts are there

And for me I really can't see being saddled with Microsoft Products.

Then why are you in the MS forum period?

I agree with all of S.SubZero's comments. Vista and Office 2007 have been
good experiences for me, and I wouldn't want to go back (although I use XP
on my laptop).

And many MANY more agree it has delivered.
The world IS more that your personal view.

Vista improves the way I work.
Office 2007 improves the way I work
Your View
My View

Probably like me. Wasted money buying Vista (once). Wants to let others
know you don't have to run Vista. There are alternatives, older XP, Ubuntu,
SUSE, RedHat, Fedora and others.

the utility of a computer is secondary to the import of their politics.
the activist needs to be against SOMETHING

these people don't co-exist well

its their way and DEATH to any other way
