1) Hardware doesn’t run well on Vista (even new hardware)

2) The new security of Vista is overkill most of the time, being prompted for every little thing is bad enough but Vista even labels existing applications as suspicious.

3) Lack of drivers for older and newer hardware.

4) Power options do not change automatically for laptops depending on whether you are plugged or unplugged from a power source.

5) The Start Menu has been redone with a completely different look, unfortunately it is hard to navigate and find what you are looking for.

6) Rebooting a Vista machine is supposed to be faster, but it actually takes longer to reboot than XP.

7) The much talked about Aero UI is great to look at, but with all the resources it takes just to run it all you will be able to do is look at it and not actually work on your pc.

8 ) The many different versions of Vista will be confusing to some basic computer users who are not sure of what exactly they need so in the end they will probably figure more expensive means better and pay for a version they don’t need in the first place.

9) Horrible graphics performance that was not an issue with XP.

10) Although the look is “improved” basic functions like add/remove programs are hard to find.

11) VPN doesn’t work correctly, even though there are a few work arounds for this it is still not an easy process.

12) Software that is supposed to be windows compatible shuts down randomly.

13) Firefox runs ten times better than IE7 in vista.

14) The sidebar is another resource hog.

15) Readyboost seems like a good idea if you can get it to work.

16) DVD playback through windows media player or media center lacks quality.

17) Minor changes to hardware may prevent the system to boot up.

18) No “open with” when right clicking on a file.

19) My brand new Netgear Eva8000 streaming media device will not work wirelessly with vista due to some tcp stack problem in vista (it did work perfect with xp).

20) Windows Improved search is a total mess and not very accurate.

What OS that MS makes actually does work right out of the box.

None of them ever gave me the idea that they finished of something great. Allways been ship it and patch it later.

It is a joke to think that this one is any different.

I've yet to find an equivalent Linux distro that works 'right out of the box' either. Keep having to tinker with bloody xorg or wireless drivers.

If you compared say, Nessus scans of Windows ME versus a default linux installation it's possible there'd be more issues with the linux install.

To be fair /my point of view....

Linux and Other Is a free OS , MS Windows OS is not

I don't know what's funnier... your anti-Vista rants, the fact that no one else cares about your anti-Vista rants, or the the fact that you haven't yet realized that no one else cares about your anti-Vista rants.

Don't like em? Don't use em. Don't know what else to tell you. Other than don't use red on a grey background. Ugh.

not a abig deal, you shouldn't respond to this thread in the 1st place (no one care either)

ps:don't care to feedback either

rant or not is yours self, think before you post!

Basicly what you are saying that it is okay to sell a product but not deliver on it.

Microsoft makes the same mistakes again and again, because they can. It is still the same release 1st and patch later attitude.

Linux on the other hand is not a commercial product that aims for casual users.
And Linux does seem to get easier to install and have fewer issue's each time a year goes by.

I'm not saying that at all (in fact I highly disagree). What I am saying is that when you post a thread ...or multiple threads..... and you're the only one responding, then maybe no one is listening or no one is caring. I vaguely remember someone posting dozens of conspiracy theories on this board and it was much of the same as this.

Ok, so you've identified their business model. Don't like it? Don't use it.

Xandros & Red Hat are very much commercial products. One caters to the casual user as a drop in replacement for Windows. The other is an enterprise product.
Windows isn't particularly hard to install. There are tons of people who do the linux community a disservice by pretending it's perfect or near-perfect.

For the record I've run linux for about 2 years now on my desktop and laptop because I didn't like where MS was headed with Vista.

To each his own, man. To each his own.

i got the 22nd one latest windows vista updates bricked 3 of my pc's where i need to do total os re installs... Fuck vista Fuck ms. the 4th pc is running linux and the 5th pc is running kalaway mac os x 10.5.2 x86 hacked intell install.
