Cause it doesn't work right.
Here's an example from yesterday. My new laptop is Vista (the old one has a
concrete floor induced broken screen). There is a device somewhere on my
network that is answering arp requests incorrectly. No matter what IP addy
I put on the Vista machine (or osx for that matter) it shows an IP address
conflict and resorts to a 169.x.x.x IP addy.
Any OS other than osx or Vista (both MS products these days) works just
fine. So I have a brand new laptop that won't work here and I'm gonna have
to waste who knows how much time tracing down a device, and spend money
replacing it, that is otherwise working just fine.
It takes 25 steps vs. 2 to change ip addresses.
It's SLLLOOOOWWWWWWW.
It's invasive. Why does it have to detect a connection to the outside
world???? Who does it contact? What does it send/rec.?
It's bloated.
If I could get a version of Winblows that just worked as an OS and didn't
include media players, DVD burners etc. I'd take it in a heart beat. Just
like Quicken these days. I'd pay MORE for a program that just balanced my
checkbook and gave me some nice reports. I'm sick and tired of everyone
trying to force services and other crap down my throat.

dreaded MS Vista
Why is everyone so down on Vista? I have been using it for a long time,
starting with the Beta Version-now using the Ultimate Version, without
problems
[laptops and PC's]. I think it is more a learning curve with so many
changes
from the earlier versions. Vista is here to stay and you should be
learning
it-not going backwards.
