You have to wonder about the level of, well, hatred in this newsgroup
for a computer operating system virtually none of the naysayers run.

Do you think the programmers and engineers at Microsoft itself don't
know what they are talking about when they acknowledge numerous
problems and try to offer fixes for those problems? Are they doing it
out of hatred?

It isn't the engineers causing the problem.


Two of my clients adopted VISTA early on, and when I go for a visit, I
sometimes stop by the IT departments to see what it new. I always ask if
anyone is having any serious VISTA problems, and the answer is always
the same: "Nothing we can't handle...you know, the usual idiot user stuff."

If you install VISTA over an earlier OS instead of doing a clean
install, if you have a slow processor or less than two GIGs of RAM, if
you don't know what you are doing with a computer, then you are likely
to have VISTA-related problems.

VISTA has had its share of "VISTA-unique" problems, as has every other
maintstream desktop computer OS. The complaints I find funniest are
those from the know-nothings who bitch that "VISTA is slower than XP."
Slower? Oh...you mean your word processor, email reader, and instant
messenger work slowly? No? Oh...you read a benchmark. Yawn.

Hey, even I had a VISTA-related problem. I couldn't get the early
release versions of SP1 to install on my desktop. I bitched, apparently
to some of the right people, I got a call back, I was asked to send in a
couple of log files, and a few weeks later, I got an email with
instructions to follow. I did and voila!...SP1 installed properly and
the procedures are now in the MS Knowledge Base.
