  • This just in, Vista doesn't suck

    Now I have used Microsoft's Vista for almost a year now. I have had only one issue with it. It wouldn't let me install the game Dune 2000 on it because it's a 16-bit game and my laptop is 64-bit. Other than that I have not had a single issue with my laptop. However everyone one I talk to about it goes on ad on about how they heard Vista sucks for one reason or another. I do have to give concede that Apple did an absolutely fabulous job with their marketing. As far as the general population is concerned Vista is the worst thing since sliced bread. However I feel that it has gotten a bad wrap. One example it the Mojave Experiment. You may have seen the commercials on TV but you can go to the website and watch the videos. People were told to rate vista on a scale from 1 to 10. Then they were shown windows "new operating system" called Mojave which was really just vista. Then they were told to rate the new one. The average rating for Vista was 4.4 but the rating for Mojave(aka. Vista) was 8.5. There are many misconceptions about Vista. A good article to read perhaps the top 10 is http://dvice.com/archives/2008/09/10_lies_about_w.php.

    Now did Microsoft make mistakes when they released Vista? Of course they did. It took foreeeeeeeeeeeeever to release Vista, the released specs were to low, the marketing sucked, they took far to long to release the first service pack that fixed the few released issues(which happens with every OS including Leopard and all the lunix distros). But lets not blame the ineptitude of the Microsoft management on the hard work of a lot of good engineers who put out a damn good operating system.
