Good one!

After using Windows for about twenty years, after ALL the BAD reviews
and consumer complaints about ALL-KINDS-OF-STUFF on Vista, I won't go
near it!

I have plenty of company, judging from all the press and first hand
accounts I've read, of issues with one of the lamest releases of Windoze
since Windoze Me.

XP SP3 certainly makes things interesting. I've gone back and forth between
Vista and XP in the past year but still land on Vista as it is rock solid for
me. Both systems benefit greatly from their respective SPs. I'm lazy and like
to slipstream the SP into the install media, so I'll look forward to when
that is available from Microsoft (as they designed it) for Vista.

I don't want to knock XP too hard, but a fresh makes me remember how many
"quirks" it has. Always more tweaks than I remember. Not so for Vista, good
to go out of the box for me.

Some of us have figured it out, we also figured out that we dislike it.
That is why there are dozens of brands of automobiles, clothing, shoes,
furniture, TVs, computers...everyone has different tastes.
That doesn't make everyone who disagrees with YOUR tastes an idiot!
But, it certainly says something about YOUR maturity level.

wish i could say such nice things about Vista. It's given me plenty to
gripe about. oh well, at least it looks nice...

Well I have tried both Vista Business and now that I have a lean mean
fighting machine I am now using Vista Ultimate. Except for a few changes with
Windows Explorer that I'm still getting used to I have found it to be a
really good O/S.
If you remember back when Windows for Workgroups changed to Windows 95 there
were similar complaints which as we know in time were sorted out.
Some people say that Vista is slower than XP, but how quick can you blink?
If your old enough to remember DOS 3, DOS 4.01 and DOS 5 you would notice
that things these days are far better ( Except for ME of course ) lolol
Having spent over a year reading comments on this site the conclusion I come
to is either people have the wrong hardware or are too busy picking holes in
Vista that they miss what it can really do. Whether you believe in Moore's
Law or Murphy's Law or even Wang's Law ( Wangs Law says that Murphy is an
optimist ) Technology and software are at the stage where they are
continually outdoing each other and until that reaches a point where they
aren't competing against each other you will always have conflicts of one
sort or another.

I started in 1985, so that was DOS 3 something, right? I like 6.22 a
lot. MS did a nice job on that one. and i went with Win 3.1, 95, 98SE,
XP, and a sideways step with Vista.

VISTA: start up is soooo slow with Vista. Shut down is
problematic--about 25% of the time it gets stuck on the shutdown screen
and i have to hit the power switch. Resuming from sleep and hibernation
is a crap shoot, also. I decided to stick with Office 2003 because not
only does it load in that oft quoted "blink of an eye", but I like it
better than bloated 2007. I think MS should make an OS that considers
SPEED to be a worthy goal, instead of feature creep. creep? hell, it's
more like a freefall towards infinite features. There is much to be
said for the principal of KISS.
