Thanks to Vista, I have almost had enough of Windows. The software is
slow, and even bundled applications regularly crash out of the box. The
driver vendors have trouble putting together a package that works
properly. The inbuilt paranoia level is beyond acceptable. Microsoft
seem to have succeeded only in putting together a package that will take
a powerful machine and grind it down to its knees. Even my XP box, with
far far lesser specs, beats the living pants off my Vista box, and with
far better stability and reliability. This latest version of Windows
truly deserves the old name of Windoze.
I will wait for Service Pack 1, but if that does not see an improvement,
then after many years of Windows in its various incarnations and
versions I will be seriously looking at Linux as an alternative.
