Vista RC2: More Refined, But Still Not Perfect
jcatcw writes, "Scot Finnie continues his love — hate relationship with Windows Vista. He installed the latest beta, RC2, on three machines. First problem: drivers — too many of them that should be available just aren't. User Access Control remains annoying and Vista's Software Protection Platform puts antipiracy above user security. Software compatibility is still in need even at this late date. However, previous problems with the Media Center were absent." And turnitover writes to point us to PC Mag's RC2 review. Their bottom line is that they expect an RC2+ or even an RC3 before it goes final. Here is PC Mag's slide show.

First poo
"And well, when was anything perfect? "
Linux is.
Here's what you can say once it's released and people are criticizing it:
:)
First thing - it's the first release
Second thing - The first release is more like a beta
And well, when was anything perfect?
There's always more work to be done for everything, including vista
What's it matter how many employees MS has? Are you saying that they pull all employees off of Office, Xbox, MacBU, DirectX, Zune, etc, and put them into fixing your supposed UI peeves? Grow the fuck up, moron.
Meanwhile, Linux has millions of developers, an unlimited budget (when the workers work for free, that's the same as unlimited budget) and still looks like utter garbage you pathetic piece of shit!
