face it, its the same whining people did when win98 came out. Its the
same whining when win2000 came out. And its the exact same whining the
world did when winxp was forced upon us. And you kow what, we're going
to hear it again when win 7 come onto the market.
No, it's not the same whining. A far greater percentage are unhappy with
Vista. I didn't whine about moving from Win 3 to Win 95 (loved it);
didn't whine about moving from Win 95 to 98 (loved it); didn't whine
about moving from 98 to XP (loved it).
I spend two FULL days trying to get an HP laptop with Vista working with
SM (which ran slloooowly) and my wife's other programs, but finally took
it back to Costco (that was a year ago). Recently, I bought new desktop
with an XP "downgrade" preinstalled from Costco - everything up and
running in a couple of hours.
One thing I learned from the Vista experience: get about 4 times the
processing power, or it will run slower than your XP machine. Unlike the
move from Windows 3 to Win 95 to Win 98 to Win XP, where every move
brought new and useful features with more stability, Vista brought me
neither. I skipped Win ME and that's my plan for Vista. If it looks like
my laptop won't last until Win 7 comes out, I'll buy a new one with an
XP downgrade before the end of June, when XP is scheduled to disappear
from even the business side of Dell, HP, etc.
