Article>>>The Full Horror of Vista!!!!

[MICHAEL]

* Frank:

You and obviously a few others thought that installing Vista would
change the world of computing right "NOW".

That's the propaganda Microsoft put out.

I never believed that. I did believe that there would be some
noticeable improvements. That's not the case.

But using Vista with current or old hardware/software is not going to
produce any "WOW" right "NOW".

Not sure that it ever will produce any "WOW".

Vista is designed for use right now but it's technological advances are
designed to take advantage of future hardware/software features and
innovations and developments.

Which is exactly why I tell most users to wait. As of *now*,
they don't need something that is designed for the future.
Even if they just want something that is better, I can't honestly
say Vista is better... not right *now*.

Look at it this way, if you simply installed Vista where you had XP
other than a new look, you'll not notice much difference. But XP is for
all intense and purposes dead. Development by hardware/software
developers will now focus strictly on the Vista platform.

Well, I sure did notice a difference going from 98 to XP....
installing XP on the *same* machines 98 was already installed.

XP will live a lot longer than 98 and will continue to be
developed for.

It is the future.

Sure it is, simply because practically all new computers will come
with Vista. That doesn't mean a thing, except, all new computers
will come with Vista. It does not mean Vista will "change the world
of computing". That remains to be seen. Although, I seriously doubt
it. I honestly believe, that it will be some type of Linux that eventually
turns the computing world, as we know it, upside down. Linux may
even force Windows to be better. Lawd have mercy on Microsoft if
Apple ever decides to release an OS for the PC.

The story of Windoze ... always waiting for the WOW to happen. You'll have
to wait until Microsoft finds some other firm to buyout so that it can get
some innovation happening. With Beryl, the WOW is NOW! <snort>

I guess I was, the RTM beta I bought at Circuit City for $200.


luck I guess.
I "did my homework" and used the Upgrade Advisor, as is the common advise
here, and everything came up roses. Unfortunately I trusted it. After
install, my video card, modem, printer and card reader were all bricked.
yea, I know - all my fault. Just like people who buy "Vista Certified"
video cards then find out they don't work either.

I had same problem here, the UA told me all was good, then I load vista,
and 3 days and 6 network cards later, I finally have a connection. The
logo program sucks donkey bollocks too!

No, I like Microsoft just fine, a real American success story if ever there
was one.
Their products just suck lately is all..

Are you taking drugs that make you this delusional Frank?

But using Vista with current or old hardware/software is not going to
produce any "WOW" right "NOW".

Sure Frank, as long as you say so, it must be gospel.

Maybe ms should not have begun the "wow" marketing campaign, if your
take on vista is correct. They could have saved the better part of a
half billion dollars had they done so.

Marketing and engineering are always at odds in these large corps.

And in MickeyMouse's case, marketing trumps engineering in every case.

I'm sure that if you spend the next few hours peering at your keyboard,
you'll eventually find the Caps Lock key. When you've accomplished that,
you can move up to the real world of computing and play Microsoft
Minesweeper. Be careful of those bombs. <snort>

Can you imagine me as a Win2.0 starter in 199x-ish needs to use HELP in
Windows to find his way again because everything is somewhere freakin'
else than you'd expect? Gahhhhhh...
Not to mention the empty desktop:
Where the hell is my My Computer? Where's Network? Where's .. whatever?
Took me another helluva time to finally enable drive letters, not to
mention only the "personal folders" were visible at first. When do I
ever need those? Ah, there are my partitions! Hidden in 'Computer'.

I am going to guess at two things. You didn't read the pamphlet and you
didn't look at the first time orientation app.

You got to be kidding me. Sure they did not make a fake story up? I
disagree with the below quoted. Not the experience I have with Vista, my
PC runs very smooth and fast.

I agree, I didn't read much further after that. That story either has many
holes or the IT personnel should all be shot. Ok, or fired.

It's a proven FACT that any OS with poor driver support will not function
well. So much so, it's common sense. Something this company was lacking.

Is anyone surprised that a MAC site invented this story about an undisclosed
company?

 

[Justin]

All your statement suggests is that Microsoft has been selling crapware
for
a long time now and still not getting it right.

Crapware or not, it's what 90%+ users want and it gets the job done. That
said, other solutions are worse then crapware. Hum, 2+2=4. Fancy that.

I doubt that other solutions are worse than crapware. I am using
Mandriva Linux, it works beautifully, have the equivalent of Aero Glass
on my old computer, and no worries about viruses etc. Nowadays there is
no reason tot stick to MS Windows if you are not satisfied with it.

Well, it was a play on words. If a desktop user finds more use from Linux
then Windows then great! However the 90%+ mark is a fact that can not be
ignored.

Different strokes for different folks. But these linux freaks can't handle
that. You're either 100% linux or they'll lie up a storm about everything
else around them. so sad
