I actually like Vista. Here's why: It's more stable when compared to my experience with XPSP2. I log 60+ hours a week on the same PC running Vista that used to run XP, and Vista doesn't crash or hang nearly as often. The interface is better; that is less cluttered and a little more intuitive for me to use. I really like some of the newer things in Vista ... The automatic backups, the expanded msconfig, the ability of the OS to 'bounce back' from errors. Nice.
Are there things I don't like? Sure. The "security" nags are a joke. IE7 is pretty, but not as stable as IE6 or 5.5. There are some lingering driver issues out there where things work, but not as well as they should. But overall I think there is a lot of undiscovered power in the OS that will be tapped and tamed over time. Give it a chance and I think it will pleasantly surprise you once you peel back the irritations that have been put in place to "protect" you from errors the average user would trip over. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derek Kalweit Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 12:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [NF] Vista, all it's CRAPPED up to be > > I'll keep that quote in mind the next time someone says that > > Linux will never catch on, since things aren't in exactly the same > > place as what they're used to in Windows. > That's probably the least of the hurdles facing it on the corporate desktop!
