In all honesty, I was just bored.
I'm not stupid, I know there are many aspects of vista that are far superior to XP, that I'm sure many of you take advantage of. I was just curious how much you people all really knew about what you were talking about, because of some comments I read in this thread before even posting.
And Kemical, re-read your first post again.
I think many of this forums users will recognise the fact that it is 'in vogue' to bash Vista. I feel that the writer of the article seemed to have a particular axe to grind with MS and he would have bitched about any MS product not just Vista.
It was at the end of your post, your conclusion if you will. Do not insult my intelligence. However, I do agree with you a little bit especially for retards like the author of that article. It was obvious he was just a raging mac whore who thinks he is an authority on windows because he DOESN'T use windows. Typical example of someone who has no idea what he is talking about, moreso than many of the so called 'experienced vista users' here.
But alas, I digress. You guys cured my boredom while I am in the process of moving.
If any of you were offended, don't be so tight-assed, it's just an online forums to talk about computers, this is not your life.
If it makes you all feel any better, there was actually a report given out a little while ago, that Nvidia was the cause of most of the worldwide vista crashes, not microsoft. They were not just having trouble with the DX10 stuff as I hinted at earlier, they were having trouble period, which I left out. You guys can google it if you don't believe me or want more info, I don't feel like explaining more.
Vista is doomed though, as much as you all will hate to admit it, and as much as it has improved in a year. You don't just have the linux and mac users talking shit about your new operating system, you have the majority of current windows users as well. If any of you are going into business, you'll realize what a disaster all this negative criticism really is. Things like the Mojave project and still supporting Windows XP are just ways to recover a large amount of lost money. I hope you people are smart enough to realize this, otherwise you really shouldn't be running a computer forum.
On the bright side though, if Microsoft has any idea of what it's doing (which I used to think so but am not sure of anymore with their new CEO), then windows 2009 or whatever it was called (windows 7?) will rock you and everyone else.
Don't do drugs, stay in school. There is this new game some of you should consider, better than DX10 graphics. Teaches you not to be so sensitive too. They call it RL, it's amazing, it really is.
