Microsoft Vista Sort Of Catching On

Not as despised as it was, anyway

Bill Gates is a homo.  An OLDDDDDDDDD homo.

I hope vista will Rock

Visa has grea potential. I have no idea how its being compared to some apple product that is very limited.   Hopefully it will keep caching on.  VISTA ROCKS!

Vista is even better than Windows ME

Dell has great computers, our company is full of them.  When they made Vista the only OS on the models we wanted, we bought them anyway.

After replacing the drives, and installing XP, they are no longer a bargain, we will have to switch vendors.  This is really dumb, it would be like making your flagship system ship with Windows ME.

Hopefully Windows 7 will send Vista into the same grave as WinME.

Is Vista A Nightmare - Or - Dream?

Did Microsoft ask the consumers, software developers, companies first? 

NO, Vista was sort of shoved down our throats.  Vista is just another example of Microsoft showing its monopolistic nature.  Why create an operating system that the consumer actually wants, when they can TELL us what we want?

Take Vista off the market

They sure didn't ask this IT admin.  I've been evaluating Vista for a few weeks. 

At work:  vista sucks, lots of software just doesn't work on it, lots of the new features replace old tried and true methods (you should see how many steps it takes to sort a folder by "date modified" now for instance) some things just don't work (like "strecthing" a desktop image instead of centering it - just don't work, at least not on this machine.)  It also moved things around and called them different names, just to waste peoples time or just to make it seem like it's different than XP? 

In general: um, it take about 1 gig of ram just to sit idle.  Also almost every component in Vista tries to connect to the internet (phoning home) over and over again.  Disturbingly Vista's DRM software tried to connect to an IP address at my ISP!  I suppose it wanted to tell them what kind of media I was watching and playing.  Very disturbing for a tech company or any cmpany that likes to keep company data, in the company.

At Play:  lots of games just don't work on it and the game companies are saying Vista's file permissions systems are just complicated, there will be no patch.  this includes my 2 favorite games COD2 and COD4 (multiplayer mode on both).  did I mention it takes about 1 gig of RAM just to sit idle?
