Well, I'm sure Mick will remind me again I have no brain, but...
How many people really use newsgroups ? I have friends and family who have
computers for over 5+ years and had their share of problems with everything
and they know nothing about forums or Usenet. I think the Microsoft support
line is a better measurement of user problems then a forum or newsgroup.
While I myself don't have any glaring problem, though I can admit some of
the oddities I have with Vista, I can't tell if it's a problem or the way
it's suppose to work. I'm talking namely about not getting folders to
remember how I set them.It seems every so often that stupid file rating
comes back on certain folders.
But anyways, this kind of post (not yours per se, but the original poster)
implies that there is nothing wrong with Vista and that any problem is a
user created problem.
But up a few post is a fix for a USB hard drive problem
"Reliability update for the USB stack in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925528"
So If I'm having this problem and maybe a few other problems (that I don't
have in XP) and I say Vista stinks or is problematic, the diehards will tell
me I don't know how to use Vista and that I have no brain.
Not to pick on Richard U, but he just said he didn't have any problems with
Vista in this thread, and then in the USB Hard drive thread, asks a fellow
MVP for help, because he's got this problem and can't get the fix to install
right.
John Barnett appears to have broken from rank and file and states in the
April 8th - Oh My God! posts with a statement like this " I actually
believe that if Microsoft hadn't been in such a hurry to release Vista,
Vista would have actually turned out a better product"
So it seems those that are pro Vista hate to acknowledge there are any
faults and those that are anti-Vista make a huge deal out of every little
hiccup.
Though Mick believes I've got no brain, I do understand that it's a new OS
and it's going to have bugs. That's why I actually don't agree with posts
that say, 'I must have done something wrong, Vista works perfectly fine for
me" and everyone wants to dive in and act like there are no bugs in Vista.
We don't need to beat a dead horse about the bugs, but we can't ignore the
elephant in the living room either
