Wrong again Vista!

Following on from my last bit of moaning about Vista's misrepresentations of
what's /actually/ going on (see 'Spot the active network connection:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...669fa9e8e58f65 )
...

I have another one: Spot the battery power remaining:
http://www.css-networks.com/wrong.jpg

Removal the A/C adapter seems to bring it back in-sync.

So you want us to follow your Bitching about Vista? You are too lazy to
post your gripes here, you want us to do the work?

It's the day after Thanksgiving and I'm not about to work that hard!

Just FYI

I thought that was what the release candidates were for?

Oh, apologies - we don't have thanksgiving over here, although I'm not sure
what you mean about you doing the work. I was just venting yet more
frustration about the Vista that nobody wanted.

If even just one person wanted Vista (I did) that makes you wrong.

"...that nobody wanted."
Are you speaking for everyone?
Or
Have you extensively researched ALL computers users and came to that
conclusion?

In either case, like most such statements all inclusive statements,
you are simply WRONG.

I'm just finding it hard to see why somebody would want it, other than an
enthusiast eager for something new. Microsoft keep harping on about how many
copies are sold, but they fail to mention that probably 90% of those
35,000,000 or whatever sold have been forced on people who never had a
choice! These people wanted to buy a computer, and would still have bought
that computer before Vista came about. So I think what they mean is that
35,000,000 (or whatever) would-be-XP-users were given Vista instead, rather
than "35,000,000 (or whatever) copies of Vista sold".

I am not into Microsoft bashing, and I genuinely think XP is a great
operating system, except for a few simple annoyances with the shell which
could be improved. I like Windows Server and I love Exchange Server. I just
don't think Vista was actually required.

The problem is that I cannot think of many things that are easier in Vista,
but I can think of lots of things that have become weirdly more cumbersome.

Of course but it would have been a bit of a mouthful to say "the Vista that
nobody except Richard Urban wanted"!
