Does Windows Vista Suck?
Does Windows Vista suck?… Maybe. =)
I am currently running three Windows XP systems and two Ubuntu systems. I really like Ubuntu and if it wasn’t for certain types of coding, programs, games, and Lotus Notes I would switch to Ubuntu permanently… OH yeah AND Netflix Streaming Videos which requires IE and Windows Media Player 11… You suck Netflix! … okay no you don’t.. I love streaming movies, I just hate your requirements. I want to pick up a new 3G iPhone and MacBook for some iPhone SDK goodness, but that will wait till Summer/Thanksgiving.
This is just a short open question. Does Windows Vista really suck? I would say yes it does suck because it doesn’t bring any new interesting features that my Windows XP installs didn’t already have and it moves everything around to different places so I have trouble helping out friends with Vista issues. I couldn’t even help my friend share a printer over a LAN. (Something I had done for years, but whatever, its working now, and thats another story.) All I hear is stories about troubles with install/upgrades and frustration even with machines from the manufactures. Runs slow, drivers issues, and software incompatibilities are all the issues I hear from Vista (Non-Ultimate) users. And the exact reasons I run XP is for speed, drivers, and software compatibility. So I am very VERY hesitant to switch to Vista.
I have only heard about good stories coming from people who either got “hooked up with” or pirated copies of Vista Ultimate. Ultimate Edition seems to be the only good version of Vista, but have YET to see anyone pay full price for it. They say it runs stable and if all drivers are available it works great.
So why would Microsoft only release an Operating System which has cheaper non-functions editions which their now unhappy customers purchased and leave the pirates and discounted people enjoying the Ultimate goodness? This doesn’t sound like a good business model. Let me know what you think with a comment or e-mail.
