1. No Wow, No How: Windows Vista

Five years in the making and this is the best Microsoft could do?

 

It's not that Vista is awful. The integrated security and parental

controls are nice, and the Aero interface is as whizzy as it gets.

Searching and wireless networking are much faster and easier than

under XP.

 

It's just that Vista isn't all that good. Many of the innovations the

operating system was supposed to bring--like more efficient file and

communications systems--got tossed overboard as Microsoft struggled to

get the OS out the door, some three years after it was first promised.

Despite its hefty hardware requirements, Vista is slower than XP.

 

When it debuted last January, incompatibilities were rampant--in part

because hardware and software makers didn't feel any urgency to revamp

their products to work with the new OS. The user account controls that

were supposed to make users feel safer just made them feel irritated.

And at $399 ($299 upgrade) for Windows Ultimate, we couldn't help

feeling more than a little gouged.

 

No wonder so many users are clinging to XP like shipwrecked sailors to

a life raft, while others who made the upgrade are switching back. And

when the fastest Vista notebook PC World has ever tested is an Apple

MacBook Pro, there's something deeply wrong with the universe.

 

We have no doubt Vista will come to dominate the PC landscape, if only

because it will become increasingly hard to buy a new machine that

doesn't have it pre-installed. And that's disappointing in its own

right.

None of this allows for any improvements during Vista's second year. It is

just endeavoring to spread more FUD..

 

Move on..

Well, PCWorld is free to have their opinion, but then again, they are not

the ones to make a conclusion. You can't necessarily say Vista is good or

bad without you the user trying it out in the first place. With the

thousands, upon thousands of stores that have machines with Vista installed

so you can test the operating system out for yourself, a text based review

or conclusion is just not gonna cut it.

Dear Mr. Vista fanboy....

 

as I have said, vista is unfixable. period

 

 

want another prediction? Once sites or people that are important in the IT

field start expressing their opinion about horrible

vista is, a true AVALANCHE of articles about HOW BAD VISTA REALLY IS will be

spread all over the place..

 

Now what is happening is that people are really not voicing their true

hatred for the worse, most crappy OS Microsoft has ever made.

 

But once someone starts, more and more and more and more will be

expressed...

 

 

and this is a good thing.. the internet will let the truth spread and may

save some people from buying or upgrading to horrible vista.

 

 

I have said it.. and you will see that I am right.. vista is a flop... and

nobody will want it soon.

this confirms what I have been saying for the last one (even more since I

was saying it even before vista was named vista)

 

that vista is crap and nobody will want it.. everything I said, will come to

pass...

 

 

I wonder what the stupid vistaboys have to say now that they are seeing

their godly vista being exposed for the trash it really is???

Hey $hit for brains,

 

Why don't you face it you do not have no creditability at all!, you never

back up your claims,

your so full of $hit it must be pouring out your mouth.

 

do everyone a favour and disappear back to that sad, lonely fantasy world

you once came

from.

 

Vista will long be around after your not it's here to stay, and anything

your twisted mind

say's wont change that!

I found the ongoing difficulties (As in ongoing from previous systems)

with explorer and such things as file copying a bit disconcerting and

the search function with it's default settings simply worthless, because

you are not sure if the file is actually not there or simply not being

seen. I hated the live search thing for XP too. It just seems they want

to involve the internet even for searching the desktop. Can't really say

that is a criticism of the OS, some will like it, personally I don't.

 

As I said earlier though the problem seems to be that it is not "That

much better" than XP so you have to ask the question why upgrade?

 

It seems to me that MS has tried to keep compatibility with previous

systems in one way but not been terribly successful, so you get the

worst of both worlds. It's neither brand new and better based on a

secure design philosophy nor is it familiar and moderately compatible. I

don't think it is "Bad" and wouldn't want to put people off if they like

it, but I think the combination of criticisms, the activation nuisance,

the UAC irritations and the cost will push folks to look for

alternatives when XP goes. There's going to be a learning curve wither

way so zero cost becomes a major choice factor.

Although your post was directly under mine, it was not addressed to me, but

I will pass comment anyway.

 

All you do is spread FUD, and you appear to take great delight in it. You

would rather do this than actually help anybody. You have, in the words of

the cat which starred in the movie 'Babe', no purpose.

Not true. Most users love Vista. It is only the few 'loud mouths' pursuing

their own agenda that make up most of the anti Vista noise. You are trying

to speak for the majority when in fact you are the minority. It is always

easy to complain. It takes much more effort to accomplish something.

 

Is there any reason why you just don't use the 'free' alternatives like a

Linux based OS? Nobody is making you use Vista.

True and I, for one, use Ubuntu and XP and see no reason to use Vista

until it has at least got SP2, if then.

Well, Vista isn't exactly five years in the making. There was a big

interruption, remember? Gates & Co. decided something had to be done about

security. So OS development was put on hold except to pour over the code and

address any security issues. And they did a good job as XP with SP2 came out

much more hardened against attack. Much of what they learned plus much more

was put into Vista.

You are dangerous.. and let me explain why...

 

you say I don't help vista users...

 

You are correct.. I don't help them that much, and the reason is simple..

let me give you an example

 

if someone was doing drug abuse, and had a problem with continuing his

destructive habit, would you assist him in getting more

so he would be able to continue? OR would you refuse to help him continue

informing him that what he is doing is destructive?

 

I refuse to help people continue to use vista unless they are stuck with it

and cannot switch...

because even if they do find a solution now for their vista problem, vista

will just turn around to bite them in the tush again when they are not

looking.

 

You are dangerous... you are doing so much harm without you even realizing

it.. in fact you think that you are doing something positive.

 

By helping people continue to use vista, and by saying that vista is good,

you are letting vista continue to be used, making people believe that its

their fault

somehow that vista is not working...

 

 

that's why I call the vistaboys "the positive negatives" in other word they

may seem positive because they are saying something good about something

(vista)

but the problem is that they are supporting something that is having a very

negative impact on the whole computing world...

 

I may seem negative by throwing mud on vista, but in reality I am extremely

positive since I want technology to progress beyond this crap

and people to expand their knowledge and abilities using a care free OS

(platform)

 

windows is a frikin platform, I hope you remember this.. it should be

transparent and out of the way.... and if possible bug free

 

I must note so you will know.. I have helped thousands (yes that is true) of

people in other newsgroups with microsoft products like XP

for years, and I never ever said something bad...

 

vista is incredibly stupid, and it has the potential to make a lot of people

unhappy...

 

and thats why I keep bashing it.

Not true. To make Vista safe you need anti malware programs, an anti

virus program, a software firewall and a router with a hard firewall.

The same is true of XP. What's the difference besides UAC which most

people either click through or turn off?

 

Don't believe me? Wait til after xmas when Vista hits 10% of the market.

Then the Vista viruses will run rampant as enough clueless computer

users will have it, making it a target for phishers, scammers and other

blue meanies.

 

Alias

a good antivirus program should detect vista and remove it...

 

aka the "vista virus"

 

:-)
