I was surfing my RSS feeds the other night using Vienna. I came across a
blog post about Vista from back in July, and decided it should be shared
with you all, and commented on.
Over on JoeClarke.net, I came across a post called "Windows Vista: Bill
Gates Driving his Edsel to Waterloo". I could not have come up with a better
title myself. Let me share parts of this blog with you.
Not only are needed software drivers very scarce, the entire interface is
klutzy. Too many ways to mention, but whoever thought of revising the
Explorer file folder scheme should have included listing the C: drive in the
left pain. Why should I have search for the Root Of All Folders when wanting
to look at all the folders sitting neatly like ducks in the left pane as has
been done since Windows 3.0? OK, I like to learn new things, but only if the
new things increase efficiency. Game players may love Vista, and maybe some
folks who have never used Windows XP. I really believe Microsoft has jumped
the shark on this one and one Serice Pack (coming out in 2009 according to
one comedic blogger) will not fix the problem(s).
If you really like Vista prepare to buy newer software programs as many of
your old XP programs will not fit. You may have to buy new peripherals such
as printers, fax machines, scanners etc. You may not even find drivers for
some Vista approved products, much less non-Vista products.
According to Vista Beta tester - Geekoid Christ Pirillo (google his
youtube comments) and others, Vista is actually Beta software tested on Beta
software. I believe Pirillo attempted to advise MS on some quirks, but was
ignored.
This post was dated back in July, guys and gals. And guess what? Even all
these months later, the same problems exist. The sky may not be falling, but
faith in Microsoft definitely is.
