If you take into account the SPEED,
the non compatibility
the gliches
the bugs
the stupid interface
the flakeyness
the LIES about WOW!
the BLOAT
the system resources
the slow copy pasting
the IDIOT UAC
the Defender catch nothing
the fact that it secretly EATS UP YOUR HDD space
the DUMBED DOWN defragment with no visual feedback
the breaking of compatibility with older OS's restore points when dual
booting
the HUNDREDS of services and background dlls all loaded eating your cpu
cycles
the BAD FONTS AND COLORS
the STUPID WMP11 that cant play sh1t
the bad TOOLBARS of Windows Explorer that cannot be customized
the lack of an UP button
the hiding of menus to reduce clutter, but at the same time other elements
INCREASE clutter
the hard disk thrasing all the time
the horrible START MENU that unfolds upon itself
the SEARCH that does not work as it should
the stupid SPEECH to TEXT, where it uderstands totally incorrect stuff
the lack of proper themes (only classic and aero)
the slowness of GUI drawing in CLASSIC mode
the need of POWERFUL GPU just to get glass, where linux can do the same
effects with less powerfull GPU
the FORCING of this DREADED OS on new computers
the WMA and DRM


and many many many more

all these make Vista the WORSE OS microsoft has ever made, and if you add
all this up, its about 1000 times worse that XP.

It's as fast as XP on my system. Faster with the beta of SP1

Get updates from third-party vendors

None that I've noticed on my system

Only one yeatr old. XP was even worse at one year.
> the stupid interface

Looks a lot like XP to me.

Not on my system
> the LIES about WOW!

What lies?
> the BLOAT

It is bigger than XP but you get more.
> the system resources

Not a problem on my system
> the slow copy pasting

SP1 fixes this.
> the IDIOT UAC

You can trun it off if you don't like it.
> the Defender catch nothing

Same Defender as XP.
> the fact that it secretly EATS UP YOUR HDD space

It's no secret. The files are all there if you look for them.
> the DUMBED DOWN defragment with no visual feedback

You don't need visual feedback since it works without human intervention.
> the breaking of compatibility with older OS's restore points when dual

MS is guiding users to Vista and away from XP.
> the HUNDREDS of services and background dlls all loaded eating your cpu

Same as in XP.
> the BAD FONTS AND COLORS

Ever hear of customization?
> the STUPID WMP11 that cant play sh1t

It plays all my mp3s and wma files.
> the bad TOOLBARS of Windows Explorer that cannot be customized

I like 'em.
> the lack of an UP button

It's a whole new paradigm. The up button is superfluous.
> the hiding of menus to reduce clutter, but at the same time other elements
> INCREASE clutter

Which ones? Mine is no more or less cluttered than XP.
> the hard disk thrasing all the time

Probably indexing. You can turn it off.
> the horrible START MENU that unfolds upon itself

Use a classic start menu if you'd rather.
> the SEARCH that does not work as it should

It finds everthing I want to find and faster, too.
> the stupid SPEECH to TEXT, where it uderstands totally incorrect stuff

It's much better than the one in XP on my system.
> the lack of proper themes (only classic and aero)

You can get more themes if you want.
> the slowness of GUI drawing in CLASSIC mode

No problem on my system.
> the need of POWERFUL GPU just to get glass, where linux can do the same

You can turn off Glass if you don't have sufficient hardware. Or you can
upgrade
your hardware to the 21st century.
> the FORCING of this DREADED OS on new computers

Can you still get new machines with Win 98 or ME?
> the WMA and DRM

Not a problem for me. I buy all my music, videos, etc.

Vista isn't perfect but when Vista is as old as XP is now, it will be in
much better shape than XP.

Listen Joe, if you don't like it so much, the least you can do is give
proper reasons why. But instead you repeat pure hearsay that is repeated
by just about all who have not used it beyond looking over a friends
shoulder.

Do yourself a favour, and us too. Go out and buy Vista, use it for a
couple of days, then come back to us with praises and/or complaints when
you actually have something to praise or complain about!!!

Now. Not sure if I heard you right...
You don't like Vista, right?

You seem like a perfect candidate for Ubuntu. Talk to Alias, he can set you
up!

By then, Vista will be history and Windows 7 will be available for you
to waste your money on.
