Leopard and Vista - More alike than you might think

[glsj.dw]

"When Vista was released the chorus of complaints and criticisms quickly
grew from a low hum to a near deafening roar."

So is he saying leopard and vista are both crap?

So is he saying vista is also crap like leopard?

So is he saying that vista is crap?

Within weeks of Microsoft unleashing Vista on the buying public the issues
facing those making the switch from XP to Vista were clear and you could sum
them up in a few bullet points:
a.. UAC too intrusive
b.. Too many bugs
c.. System slow-downs
d.. Too many compatibility casualties
e.. Glitchy interface
f.. Baked-in vulnerabilities
g.. Install buggy and prone to crashing
h.. Systems that were rock-solid under the XP now falling over regularly


Hmmmmm SO TRUE.. however that list is too short.. you would really need a
list that has the length of all the pages of encyclopedia Britannica in
order to list all the vista bugs..

dzomlija,

If you have had to read this fools posts for as long as most (usually due to
the usual name change)
you would probably end up in resorting to the same language.

There is a detail here you may be forgetting.. (or perhaps you might not
know)

The REAL Longhorn was ditched and a new plan was made for what longhorn (or
vista) was to be (this happened 2 years before vista was released). In other
words most of the best innovations that they wanted to get into vista was
ditched because they wouldn't ever finish at the pace they were going.

What we call vista now was actually rushed after they threw away most of the
work done for the real longhorn...
what they wanted now (the last 2 years) was to get SOMETHING OUT or ELSE
they would be in financial trouble.
2 years is enough time IF, you have a company that is very organized....

MS has grown so much, as a company even the smallest decisions need MONTHS
to be implemented...

I was reading about how a whole TEAM was needed for a small menu....

Read this story here and weep:
http://moishelettvin.blogspot.com/2006/11/windows-shutdown-crapfest.html

All these problems is because MS the GIANT had very poor planning...

This is why MS will die if they don't reorganize and get some fresh minds
with new ideas in there...

glsj is right - the security nightmares that exploded around XP caused a
major shift in emphasis for Microsoft. They abandoned a tremendous amount
of work they had already done on Longhorn, and really did almost "start
again", using Server 2003 as a big contributor to the new Vista.

In reality, they wasted three years' work. Vista in its current form was
developed over a couple of years or so.

Nice to meet you C*CKHEAD.

XP still crashes, COCKHEAD

It must be a hardware or driver problem or something else on your PC, it
can't be XP.....since my XP never crashes. (That is the logic right ?)

The last time this install 'blue-screened' was when the CPU fan crapped out
8 months ago.

This story I have posted has been around for quite a long time.. this blog
is only one of its copies in cyberspace...

I have read discussions about it, and I have been persuaded it is true.

The way MS works has been show in many ways.. even if this particular story
was not true, I am sure MS works just like that.

It is not drivel... MS needs reorganization... history will tell you (if
you study it) that one of the biggest dangers with huge companies is
organization...

vistas bad quality is testament to this problem MS is having.

So much money talent and time wasted to give us what?
Vista?... LET ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WITH MS INCOMPETENCE!

As for Linux or MS....

We are talking about a process nor very disimilar to Darwin's natural
selection.
What system survives in the long run is not clear yet...

but I would say that an open system has more chances to survive than
windows... simply because its more versatile.

What is better or more secure does not always matter.... but when you can be
more versatile that is a winning point.

Linux can be run on a watch or a super computer cluster.. this flexibility
gives it many more chances to dominate in the long run.

Sorry... but Vista is a dinosaur that will go extinct. There is no doubt
about it. It must go.

Lets not talk about security... windows is a joke.

Beg to differ, my Vista crashed every time I tried to drag and drop files
between panes in Explorer. I hadn't encountered anything like it since
Windows 95.

I had to disable Aero, Windows Defender, Search, Indexing, PhotoGallery, and
Restore, amongst other things, just to get my brand new Dual Core 2GB RAM
notebook to stop disk thrashing constantly and actually make it usuable.

So in your words, COCKHEAD, don't try to speak for everyone.

You may be right; while there are only six varieties of Vista, there are at
least 35 versions of Linux.

Linux mutates faster than Windows. Eventually there will appear a version of
Linux indistinguishable from a speaking mattress that flops and lives in a
swamp.

If you are going to base your "facts" on what you find on the internet then
try googling for "vista is great" and "vista is crap" to show how stupid
your "facts" are.

 

[The poster formerly known as 'The Poster Formerly]

Just in case "glsj.dw" is too stupid to use google:

"vista is great" returned about 75,500,000 results
"vista is crap" returned about 1,880,000 results


If I enclose the search terms in quotes for exact match, I get these
results:

"vista is great" returned about 32,800 results
"vista is crap" returned about 10,400 results


That is quite a difference, isn't it? These are not random numbers, as
the screenshots prove.
