Vista Review

I’ve read quite a few Windows articles this week, and there is definitely a buzz about Windows 7 in the air. It just seems like nobody knows what is going on. This post Windows 7: A New Vista or a New Operating System lists some features of Windows 7 that sound pretty cool. The new taskbar and jump list features sound great, but why in the hell MS still insists on making Calendar, windows mail, movie maker, contacts, and photo gallery downloadable is beyond me. They also seem to have taken the stance that they need to remove things that Vista had that pissed people off. Like incessant UAC notifications and alerts, hardware requirements, and connection speeds.

In the meantime we are all reminded what a turd Vista is by having to remember the whole “Vista capable” debaucle in posts like there’s a class action lawsuit saying Microsoft misled consumers – where HP is highly pissed at Microsoft because the chipset they were using for “Vista capable” machines couldn’t run Vista at all. In otherwords, HP was practically forced into selling Junk PC’s! Yet another post reveals how Intel Benefited from Vista capable.

A lot of people are talking about Windows 7, and really do wonder if the release date will actually be June 2009 or not. There seem to be many people testing it, and in fact this post says that it boots faster than both XP and Vista. It looks like at first glance too, that Windows 7 is only having one “ready” sticker. Does that mean it will only have one version? With Windows 7 coming out, it makes you think about all the versions of Windows that came before it…did you know that Microsoft just stopped selling Windows 3.1 licenses? That really shocked me…

Vista is a piece of crap, really makes me laugh. It’s sooooo like the problems people have with vista everyday.
