Am I the only one who thinks...
Vista is an overated piece of memory hogging, power sucking garbage, filled with copycat ideas brought in by microsoft as a cash cow before they have to finally give the OS market to the open sourcers?
or is it just pecimistic grumpy old me?

How many of you touted ... "I ain't running XP on my PC" ... hands up, come on, be honest. If you are going to buy a PC, from a PC manufacturer, you ain't gonna get nuffin but Vista preinstalled. Better get the "how to build a PC" manual out. Oh, and then fine some company still selling XP 'cos they need to get rid of excess stock. OR, go the Linux road.  Look on the bright side ... you don't own the MS OS software you have "bought" anyway.

yes vista is not an ideal, and may be it's a real crap, but... you, me and the other people will use it as we used 95, 98, now XP. i've never met a person who doesn't use windows, many of them complain that windows is a crap and say that they will use linux, but they are still using windows.
