Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-does-every-version-of-windows dept.

WebHostingGuy writes "In a review by Gary Krackow from MSNBC who reviewed Vista Beta 2 over the last week he had very disappointing problems. "for me [it] was one of the worst operating system experiences that I've ever encountered." Built-in audio and wireless didn't work on his Levono laptop. It took four days to get the first installation."

    I don't see the problem. This is how most columnists review Linux. Obviously this just isn't the year of Desktop vista.

    And this post will get modded troll, sadly. However it's 100% true. I see a lot of apologists here that are the same ones knocking Linux based on the same style reviews every chance they get.
