General info said:
what is exactly better about Vista if there are so many problems with it?
There are a lot of preventative maintence things that Microsoft added that
make the system "last longer", I guess is the only way I could describe it.
For instance... Vista does defragmenting automatically. Vista has great
debug tools if your system crashes or is unstable. Vista UAC kindda sucks,
but at least now your average user knows when their system is being tweaked
and can stop it if they don't know why...
There are lots of issues with the OS, but I like to tell people thinking
about Vista, "All these systems behind me (gesture to the 80+ systems our
shop is fixing), are running XP.
I've worked on a few Vista boxes, but usually it's just the initial setup
that's messing up. Once the system is running it doesn't "seem" to have as
many issues as XP does. I dunno, maybe I haven't given the OS enough time to
adiquately fail.
-A.
p.s. I don't really like the OS either, it pisses me off daily, but I
haven't uninstalled it yet, and I haven't found anything I flat out can't
get to run on the OS. I don't like that I had to upgrade my RAM and CPU for
performance reasons, seems like OS's like Linux/Ubuntu and MacOS
look/perform superior(ly?) on inferrior hardware, but those OSs do not have
DirectX/XNA/etc.
