MS Apologizes for the wrong thing
by mauriceo July 3, 2007 8:07 PM PDT
MS should apologize for Vista PERIOD. It is the worst operating system since WIN ME. I've been an IT professional for 25+ years, and this was the last straw for me. I've bought a Mac, and while i find it annoying and childish some times, i do have to admit, it is far more stable and easier to use than Windows. Vista's search is brain dead, the UAC is a complete moron's idea of security, and the re-arrangement of things like the Control Panel and start menus were devised by a buncha drunk college students looking for ways to make life difficult.

what an abortion Vista is.....

No IT pro would buy a MAC

No IT pro would buy a MAC. period. I mean its like saying a builder is buing a modular home.

If you are in IT chances are you have your own custom built machine with Linux or Windows. a Mac is prefab.

If you've used Linux in the past you would realize that Vista has borrowed a lot from the security (UAC).
Vista? What's that?

Now, in 2009, I can't really see what the problem with Vista was, as, at least myself with a dual processor and 8GB of RAM, not only have no problems with Vista's apparent hogging of system resources, but find that games load faster and play better than they did with XP. Mind you, I haven't tried both OS's to compare the two on this spec, but I can imagine that with enough power, the difference between the two is minimal at best, especially considering that the majority of games I play have a capped frame rate of 60 anyway.
