Morons that rant about new versions of Windoze
MS has about some version of it's os on about 90% of all the personal computers. That is hundreds of millions of installations. There will always be people that have some combination of hardward and other software that ms did not anticipate and will cause the operation system to do something wrong.
At the same time lots of organizations will delay implementing a new ms operating system. It generally has a lot more to do with their technical staff being familiar with the new software or their in house applications not being ready for the new os than problems. Though some will complain about the problems in the new os as well. That is not a new phenomenon. It has been happening since windows 3.1. As every version has matured the problems have declined. Simply because of the sheer volume of installations problems get more press that the other os'. For everyone with a problem there are 10s of thousands that have no problems at all. Vista is close to reaching the 100 million install mark. Obviously it is not a crisis. |

I spent about an hour this past weekend reading about some of the problems *some* Apple users are having with the latest release of OS X, aka Leopard. Some Apple folk are having some serious issues. My guess is that if Apple had the same sized user base for its operating systems as Microsoft does, and if those Apple users were similar to Windows users, the number and seriousness of problems would be similar. If memory serves, I read where Apple has under 5% market share of desktop PC operating systems. This used to be a boater newsgroup. There's no requirement that posters here have any knowledge of a computer OS or in fact have a boat. We have plenty of boatless posters here who also present as too slow to use a computer, too. |

You are just upset because most people don't think it offers any advantages over WinXP, but definitely has a ton of bugs that MS has not been worked out. Univ. of Penn IT dept. does not recommend Vista and does not recommend Vista SP1. ZDNet conducted a survey and 80% of the IT depts. said they had will NOT be updating to Vista, and they will continue using the same OS they currently are using. |

Simply because of the sheer volume of installations problems get more press that the other os'. For everyone with a problem there are 10s of thousands that have no problems at all. Vista is close to reaching the 100 million install mark. Obviously it is not a crisis. I spent about an hour this past weekend reading about some of the problems *some* Apple users are having with the latest release of OS X, aka Leopard. Some Apple folk are having some serious issues. My guess is that if Apple had the same sized user base for its operating systems as Microsoft does, and if those Apple users were similar to Windows users, the number and seriousness of problems would be similar. If memory serves, I read where Apple has under 5% market share of desktop PC operating systems. This used to be a boater newsgroup. There's no requirement that posters here have any knowledge of a computer OS or in fact have a boat. We have plenty of boatless posters here who also present as too slow to use a computer, too. I wonder who started the discussion on how GREAT Vista was? Ohhhh yeah, now I remember, it was Harry Krause. You are just upset because most people don't think it offers any advantages over WinXP, but definitely has a ton of bugs that MS has not been worked out. Univ. of Penn IT dept. does not recommend Vista and does not recommend Vista SP1. ZDNet conducted a survey and 80% of the IT depts. said they had will NOT be updating to Vista, and they will continue using the same OS they currently are using. Why do you have a problem with what OS another person may be using?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Read, Jim. It's people like ZDNet, 80% of IT departments, Penn State and even Microsoft themselves that have a problem with Vista. ============ My son is not having any problem with it, nor are most users of VISTA in a couple of computer forums I visit.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I would guess not, what with digging ditches and all. http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquir...microsoft-admi... http://badvista.fsf.org/rss_manager....709/2007-04-21.... http://www.computerworld.com/action/...viewArticleBas... http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,14...n/article.html http://www.garagespin.com/archives/m...ta-stinks-trag... http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/softwar...its-to-Vista-f... http://news.softpedia.com/news/Micro...lower-than-XP-... http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columni...7-03-02-vista-... http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/m...ves/132891.asp Which of these do you and your son know more about computers than? =================== You just don't get it. *HE* is not having a problem with it.

There will always be people that have some combination of hardward and other software that ms did not anticipate and will cause the operation system to do something wrong. At the same time lots of organizations will delay implementing a new ms operating system. It generally has a lot more to do with their technical staff being familiar with the new software or their in house applications not being ready for the new os than problems. Though some will complain about the problems in the new os as well. That is not a new phenomenon. It has been happening since windows 3.1. As every version has matured the problems have declined.
