My hopes were really high when I bought Vista, but they've severly plumeted
since then. my Windows Update can't update anymore, and several of the
software programs I want to use run into trouble with ERROR 1935 because M.S.
C++ doesn't want to install and configure... I can't even get it to download
right from Microsoft's website. I'd email Microsoft about it looking for
help... but Microsoft wants another 60 bucks just to hear me out... because
I've owned Vista longer than 90 days. So, I'm not extremely confident I'll
find a fix for this situation. Even if I do find a fix for it, I don't want
to wait around for the next time Windows update program misconfigures
everything on my OS all to hell, and have to pay 60 bucks an email for
everytime some issue needs to be addressed directly to Microsoft's tech
support. I'm a computer tech for the organization I work with, and the going
rate to responding to a tech email is 60 bucks these days than I'm extremely
underpaid.
Anyways, just wanted Microsoft to know my personal experience with Vista
will lead me to oppose the tranistion from XP to Vista for the organization I
work with--that I personally may decide to switch back to XP on my personal
computer; and that when it's usefulness has become absolutely dated, my
intent to switch over to APPLE's and encourage my organization in their
adoption even more immediately--while I pray that Google will up the
tech-ante and put out their own OS that will give MS good push off the OS
cliff.
In the meantime, I have an Apple's sales-rep that is just dying to get the
money we send to Gateway every year anyways; and I'm meeting with him this
thursday to look at their new models. Our business won't mean much to
Microsoft alone, but the way things are going, I'm sure a lot of people are
going to end up avoiding Vista like the plauge--and then PC manufactuers like
Gateway, Dell, and HP will be less and less inclined to bundle their machines
with this particular OS. And now that Apple has partnered with INTEL to
expand their OS's compatibility, and Google is a financial titan in the
software industry who will continue to seek new ways to expand their
profits--the day MS looses it's maket-share as an OS provider could come as
swiftly as Nentindo went down during the rise of Playstation. (Hmmm... Since
MS hit Sony's console market share, what's to keep them from looking into
developing their own OS??? :-D In less than 10 years everything could be
extremely different.)
Vista was meant to tighten MS's grip on the OS market--but it might end up
undoing it altogether! :-D That would be world-changing for sure, but, a bad
thing.... probably not. And the upside for Microsoft is that they won't see
anymore monopoly or antitrust lawsuits against them when that day comes.
What else can I say... but vista, vista, vista.... shame, shame, shame.
