Microsoft Should Abandon Vista?
mr_mischief writes "An editorial written by Don Reisinger over at CNet's News.com takes Microsoft to task for the outright failure of Vista. He suggests that Vista may be the downfall of the company as, despite years in development, Vista was delivered to market too early. His suggestion? Support those who are running it, but otherwise ditch Vista and move on. 'Never before have I seen such an abysmal start to an operating system release. For almost a year, people have been adopting Vista and becoming incensed by how poorly it operates. Not only does it cost too much, it requires more to run than XP, there is still poor driver support ... With Mac OS X hot on its tail, Vista is simply not capable of competing at an OS level with some of the best software around. If Microsoft continues down this path, it will be Vista that will bring the software giant to its knees--not Bill Gates' departure.'"
Come on moderators, you know that was funny.

Keep things on topic and write your political drivel somewhere else, thanks.
Err yes Islam, Judaism and Christianity all believe in the God of Abraham, and Christians DO worship Jesus because Jesus is God!
I won a copy of Vista in a drawing, and while I didn't really intend to install it, I figured I'd at least see what was in the box. Whoever designed that plastic box is a sadist; that was so unbelievably *not* intuitive on how something should be opened. I couldn't believe that I was getting frustrated, and then *infuriated* just trying to OPEN the damn thing. When I did get it opened, part of the plastic hinge broke off, meaning now it would never stay closed. Not only did I not install Vista, I threw the whole thing away, disc and all; if Microsoft can piss me off so much just trying open the stupid package, no jury in the world would convict me for being the psycho I would probably become using it.
