No kidding. The simple fact is, it's an inferior product at this time. WinXP takes less memory, and generally work much faster.
One of the issues as I see it is MS took what...5 years to release this, compared to Apple's regular release around every 2 years? Compound it with the contradiction Apple *generally* releases an OS focused on helping the Consumer get work done, while Vista (other than it's eye candy interface), provides little if any incentive for folks like me to want to upgrade. And it's typically those on the cutting edge AND NOT THE BLEEDING EDGE that tend to help migrate others. I find Apple always has some nice 'gotta have right now' features for each upgrade---Vista, IMO, has none. The simple fact is, there is ZERO compelling reason for the average user to want to upgrade. Period. That's pretty sorry for five plus years in development. With regard to Office, it's not the OS, but a completely different interface. So instead of evolutionary, it's revolutionary. And, IMO, while some things are better, some others are worse-- evidenced the the fact most everyone I know of complain when first using it. We've already had discussions here on the list regarding 'ribbons' and whether or not people like them. In any case, we'll have to wait and see. Frankly, I'm a big Google Docs user. I can get most of what I need from their suite of office apps, plus I can share them with others, easily post PowerPoint presentations online, and create simple spreadsheets. I've even got around to writing proposals on Google Docs. Good article, Scott. Thanks for pointing it out! -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
