I have to agree with Frank on this one.
It's mind-boggling that I agreed w/Frank, but I am not a "hardwired" person
who sterotypes people.
I don't liek Frank's misunderstand the fact that Vista is unsuitable for
seriou sbusienss and is inferior to XP in thsi respect, HOWEVER that
Microsoft does spend lots of money on Marketing research and LISTENS to
customers is a fact.
They listened to my complains in the past, as much as I bashed MS regarding
Colors customization, failing Search by file contents, WinExplorer views
quirks and media-focused OS in general instead of real business, as opposed
to Fast, Customizable power of WinXp, I can't bash MS for not listening to
us.
Problem is American demographics has changed, we're a dumber country than
used to be in th egood old days of total world domination; except maybe
sharing it with Soviet Union where I was born!
The demographics tells you most customers are NOT using computers today for
what they were invented in 1940's (electronic, as of mechanical it dates
back to 17th century).
I.e. people ar enot solving systems of differential equations, analysis,
simulations, docs control, CAD design, even writing!!
Today Microsoft has no capacity to listen to US, technical people.
If we complain they listen, but they're afraid to go too far following our
advise to avoid alienating all those kids, housewives and other sub-educated
or less than intelligent public.
Thos epeople use computers to "rip DVD's" or play their retarded hiphop
music, that's it. That all they do, or sit for hours typing sexy messages
into Social websites.
Computers today are used more for Porn than for national security!
The most visited sites are porn, social networking, and other rubbish. I
remember when it was all academia, scientists, government, military, not
anymore.
OK so they will listen to some of my advices, specifically I got assurance
the Evil Color Schemes issue will be considered for fixing in Windows7.
That WindowsExplorer I was able to finally tame down to XP style performance
but views still choose random appearance, media-focused instead of generic
file-focused, is something we have to live with ufor awhile.
That Search I had to replace with FileLocator Pro, well I could afford $40.
I am not here to blast MS for the sake of ranting or blasting itself
I just want this product to cater MORE to people who invented computers.
That is engineerrs, scientists and technical people with BRAINS in general.
When I search for known existing stuff and Vista doesn't find, while XP
does, it infuriates me
We expect a BETTER product when qwe upgrade, what we got is soemthing better
in some aspects, and WORSE in others.
It just so happens that Vista's best features are of NO intetest to
technical people, this is why it makes me angry.
Who cares for Aero peaks, picks, and tricks?'
Children.
Do you sit at home starring into these shiny icosn, and semitransparent
windows just for the sake of enjoyment?
Hopefully not. This is rubbish for a busienss user.
I'd care much more for speed, realiability and CUSTOMIZATION.
I want th eability for each window to display whatevr background color I
choose, or all windows adhere to same policy, but WinLive PhotoGallery sets
white background which is an abomination to professional photographers.
Just one example. I am fixated on this color thing not because it's the
ONLY problem, i just dont have time to list lal the Vista's problems.
I use it because WinXP disk was lost and I had to reinstall everything due
to changing harddisk partitions, OK, now Frank you udneertsand why I use it>
Not because I wnated, but because disk was lost. I'd goback to XP any
moment.
