Bit harsh!Quote:
You'd have thought Microsoft would've got the hang of making operating systems by now, but the public availability of the second service pack produced for Vista...this year implies otherwise.
I don't think Vista is as bad as people make out. Sure it had some growing pains, but then what OS doesn't?
Rose tinted glasses.
Can this one be properly integrated via slipstreaming?

As was said above, iv been on vista 64 for 18months now and havn't looked back! Iv been happy with vista and hopefully sp2 will only make things better!
You'd have thought the linux community would know how to write an OS by now, they release a new kernel every other week and still they need to keep working on it! It must be rubbish!!!Quote:

Then again vista did take 5 years to develop. it had to drop alot of features. first day experience was not good. it took around a year to release service pack 1 which fixed most of the issues.Quote:

does seem a rather long time.
luckily windows 7 even pre beta is very stable.
Or they could release a new OS every year with only incrimental changes and the same functional increase that a service pack gives you for nothing. People* would complain about that.Quote:

LOL very true
only real issue with vista really is the speed. still quite slow
of course it still has the issue that all windows os's have which is leftovers in the registry after uninstalling applications.
I'd say that's am issue with naughty uninstallers rather than the OS.Quote:

I'm just glad every software release I do is utterly infalable, perfect and future proof.
