All problems that >> you morons meet using Vista, is caused by : >> a. illegal software >> b. partitioning with XP >> c. updating XP >> >> Wake up! > Bill, these people are just trolling. EVERY OS has problems, but Vista has different ones than others. Refusing to accept these problems is moronic, they need to be fixed not, "Imagined" out of the way. My personal view is that problems with Explorer should have been fixed a long time ago and should never have got into the released version. WGA / WPA cause users to have problems they neither need nor deserve and their effectiveness is not sufficient to justify the problems they cause. "If" these people had to deal with more than one machine - with which they may simply have been lucky - they would not be making such claims. They are not quoting from experience, rather from lack of it  I think from the original release Vista has been improved by the various updates, and the hardware folks have caught up somewhat too, but MS need to do more before it becomes the kind of stable environment that XP has become and be widely accepted by the IT industry. The fact is though that many business requirements are satisfied by XP and existing hardware with the extra investment for Vista showing limited returns. Quality is, in my view, even more critical to the adoption than before. Calling users like yourself (and me) "Morons" does not help MS or Vista or anybody else, trying to help find a fix does. I have trouble with some machines, none at all with other machines, but in the end when basic OS functions like listing, copying, processing files don't work, or work unpredictably (Which can be worse than not at all) it hits MS's reputation right in the balance sheet. No use then Ballmer clowning about on stage, people will not be fooled forever. I've been an MVP for some years and like MS and their products, however Vista was a disappointment to me when I looked at it from a normal user's viewpoint and harder to deal with than it could have been. Previous experimentation with Linux (Mostly Debian) showed that for many users Linux was still too "Geeky", but the open source teams have made vast improvements to the GUI so that being a Geek is no longer necessary, and in fact an install of Ubuntu goes faster and easier than Vista with FEWER driver and compatibility issues than Vista. Sure you have to make a few changes, just as you would with XP / Vista but it is no longer difficult, it's just not enough "Windows like" to be a natural for a former XP user. Thing is though, that MS have to realize, someone like me can replace XP or Vista for MOST home users with Ubuntu and unless they use windows only games they will have all they had before and less hassles. That is why I think building hassles into the system is dangerous for MS. It's no use telling folks Linux is worthless because they will find you are lying eventually, instead Windows must prove itself batter all the time. |
