Based on everything I've read and heard from Vista victims that I work with, I was right to avoid it.
That being said, I think I will leave this thread now before the Mac snobs finish watching their BetaMax movies and log-on to hijack the conversation.
When we bought our new computers, at the end of 2006, we had the choice of XP or Vista. I made sure they we loaded with XP. They are Vista capable, but I don't anticipate ever using it. I learned from past experience to avoid MS's first generation OS's.
I just bought a laptop for my assistant, and I foolishly got one with Vista, instead of buying a Dell online with XP. How bad could it be... it’s newer, therefore it’s better, right? Wrong. It’s slow. All the buttons are in different places, so it takes a long time to do anything. The Vista computer won’t network with my other XP computers... still working on that one. So far I have yet to find one thing the Vista machine does better than my old XP’s.
Felicitations, Mr. TigerLovesRooster sir!
Please do not refer to us Mac users as “snobs” who watch Betamax movies. Oh no, sir, we are all very ‘umble, sir. Ever so ‘umble. And we do not watch Betamax, but Blu-ray movies. We watch them ‘umbly in our thatched crofters’ cabins on the moor.
I just started reading the thread, but I am sure Swordmaker will be by if he hasn’t already.
