HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the second-verse-same-as-the-first dept.

boyko.at.netqos writes "Hardocp.com has published "30 days with Vista" — with the same author from "30 days with Linux" doing the evaluation. And he doesn't like it. From the article: 'Based on my personal experiences with Vista over a 30 day period, I found it to be a dangerously unstable operating system, which has caused me to lose data [...] Any consideration of the fine details comes in second to that one inescapable conclusion. This is an unstable operating system.'"

    Ok, you win! Most obnoxious post award including foul language AND blasphemy in a way that's sure to offend virtually anyone with a modicum of class. What a mouth you've got (or keyboard).

    Yeah, go ahead and call me bad names, you know you will.....

    Go back and you'll see the exact same comments when Windows 2000 came out, when Windows XP was released, when the first Xbox was released and when the Xbox 360 was released.
    Microsoft still doesn't know how to make an operating system that works...

    That's basically damage correction, a feature that OpenGL-based systems (see: Mac OS X) have had for a looong time. It's nothing new, and in fact, it's something that Windows should have had years ago. Vista is much slower than XP. I have had a number of friends decide to uninstall Vista due to the speed hit that their systems took. On a system that's even capable of using the new interface, XP beats Vista in terms of raw speed, especially XP's classic interface.
