vista
ORIGINAL: Manowar Vin
had it for about 7 months or so. Not a problem. In fact I kinda like it. Just familiarize yourself with it, customize it, and keep it updated. You need to embrace change with computers. Dun be skerd.

Vista is a piece of GARBAGE...
The one and only thing I wanted on top of XP was better performance. - Vista is soo much slower than XP and all it adds is a prettier look - Not much is familiar to the prior experience - Networking is horrible and confusing.
The security alerts are as annoying as they can be and give me no warm fuzzy feeling about the security in it. - Definitely a feature that I disabled immediately. - Sidebar looks good, but eats up resources way beyond the benefits. - And it does not seem very compatible with old apps.
The only thing worse than Vista, is Office 2007 - NOTHING looks the same - I work helpdesk and our users at least are used to the File, Edit, View, etc. look at the top - Office 07 takes that away and adds some goofy "Start" style button to do the same - sort of. - To top this upgrade off, they go and change the file formats (After 10+ years of forward/backward compatibility) - Enjoy the new pptx, xlsx, docx, etc formats. - They do have a converter for older apps, however they aren't perfect. - Office 2007 has been nothing but trouble. - Makes me really want to push Sun's OpenOffice.
Enough of a rant for the night...
