@Adam:
Your looong comment aptly puts foward your frustration, and believe me, I’ve played with Vista for a couple of minutes and I understand that.
If you read my other posts, you will find that I’m not a big fan of M$ either. It’s just the steps taken by Bill Gates towards social work arena that have bowled me over.

It wasn’t my pick but I’m stuck with Vista here (preinstalled on a Vista machine)a Vista machine made for Vista, the nightmare Scenario. I find it to be someone’s bad experiment that they did in the basement and another guy that brought in some intersting hobby they did in the basement of a better designed networking system and kinda threw it together without really caring if it was compatible or worked at all with TODAYS MODERN WORLD. You know most Operating Systems evolve over time even the bad ones that are buggy. All Vista was, was some guys ego project. Even the newer Operating Systems usually will work under compatibility mode with Older stuff. It’s sad I have to download dll files to get games to run. It’s like someone half done project. The whole operating system was made in a timewarp. (But you know how designs come around again). The thing is though, this computer was island off for Vista, the whole thing is made for it, so, pretty much the computer is scrap. Luckily I’m smart enough to know how to DOS disk analyze and stuff, good fuctions that were removed. People are so dumb, they don’t seem to understand there’s nothing new added to this thing, they actually had to start removing functions like a good disk defragment analyzer and stuff. They even removed the phone terminal which is the most ironic of all since the thing looks like it was made circa 1994 so. Obviously it was someone’s attempt to turn back time, sadly it’s sucking my time, thanks Bill Gates.

you’re right bro. i think XP has some more milk in its titty that must be milked out before going for the new chic on the block…eh…OS.

I didn’t have the “privilege” of experiencing so much , but yup that definition hits the spot.

I had a look at my friend’s system because the avi files weren’t playing (something you mentioned). It’s a little obvious that a new OS will have some trouble at the infant stage, but decision to abandon XP production would be suicidal, IMHO.

did you get the feeling that Vista was just XP with a killer transormation pack? I did. i right-clicked My Computer and got the same options as XP. the control panel is the same. The LAN configuration took longer to set-up. And half my MP3s dint work. Most of my videos dint work. the codecs would not install correctly. Everything is slower, more fucked up and pretty. so here’s my definition of Vista.

“Windows Vista is a slower, more fucked up and prettier version of Windows XP.”

Hehe
I played with Vista yesterday for the first time.
Quite honestly, I couldn’t find any real reason to switch to Vista. If you want looks, OS-X and Linux (with Beryl/Compiz) are comparable (even better).
And it’s about security then… what do I say
