I loved this comment. I especially like the part where you added, "though still very stupid," because it's true! :) I haven't bought Vista either. I heard too many bad things about it from others using it. “Seems like they’ve learned that people, though still very stupid, have gotten smart enough to realize that a turd wrapped in a fancy package is still a turd.”

In typical use, I've yet to find anything that warrants the criticisms I've read. Is it different than XP and earlier versions of Windows? You betcha. Do you have to re-learn some things? Yep. Is it perfect? Nothing ever is. Is it horrible? Not in the least. P.S. You can turn off the UAC and never see it again. As long as you use a reasonable level of care when installing new software (or when doing whatever else normally triggers it), there's no reason to have it at all. <em>Rob in Denver's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/52Novels/~3/231004734/' rel="nofollow">The version suicides, Part 2</a></em> I’ve been using Vista daily for about the last year.

Did you know that you can easily change the content on the system information via registry hacks. I say thats Vista with some reg tweaking. @Selene like i said earlier as soon as 1 operating system is released the development for the second one is kicked into high gear. The development for the future os may actually start production before the release of the current version in development. Though its a radical example based on its development structure and nature take the gnu and linux kernel operating system ubuntu into perspective. Those guys have development cycles of about 6 - 7 months. As soon as one is finished they're onto the next. MS does it similarly the difference is they ride out 1 os as long as possible with patches and updates to coverup the holes and rips in the fabric of the os until the market cry's out for change... then and only then.. enter the new os. I was fed up with the windows operating system from the days of xp and have been using a linux alternative for about 5 years now. <em>taylor2nd's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/taylor2nd/~3/229605749/' rel="nofollow">David Hasslehoff… has a music video… Why was this made possible?</a></em> Leon. what is your rationality behind saying that is windows 7 in the wild… Did you know that you can easily change the content on the system information via registry hacks.

It just works. I have spent the last few days helping people recover from spyware and viruses on Windows. I don't mind not having that problme. On the flip side, the office I manage is mainly Windows. The few machines we have moved to Vista are stable, but the people hate them. XP will remain our main operating system for the forseeable future. Vista just doesn't have any real benefits for most people. <em>Michael's last blog post..<a href='http://michaelcarnell.palmettobug.com/2008/02/04/where-do-you-find-your-peace/' rel="nofollow">Where Do You Find Your Peace?</a></em> Call me an Apple Fan Boy, but I will stick with OS X.

Well done. Second, none of this shocks me and while people pic on me for using a Mac, I will stay firmly planted with Apple. I have never gone through all the issues that I see with people upgrading their Windows OS. It has nothing to do with the machinery but the shoddy execution on the part of M$. I can't understand how a company of this size can't get their own stuff right and tell you to downgrade? That's absurd!! Don't release it if it don't work no matter what deadline you put out. I guess it's long live XP for the next couple of years. <em>Ricardo's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/unloaded/~3/228255162/part-ii-oh-its-true-enterprise-rent-car.html' rel="nofollow">Part II: Oh it's True, Enterprise Rent a Car is Evil</a></em> Leon, congrats on the nominations sir.

I'd wait till you use it for a bit before giving it a review - just like the interface of Vista impressed the crap out of everyone till they actually came to use it, we don't know anything yet about this one. I still have a copy of 'Neptune' and it runs great.
