Vista Named Year's Most Disappointing Product

Posted by kdawson on from the foregone-conclusion dept.

Shadow7789 writes "No surprise here, but to complete its humiliation, PC World has declared that Windows Vista is the most disappointing product of 2007. Quoting: 'Five years in the making and this is the best Microsoft could do?... No wonder so many users are clinging to XP like shipwrecked sailors to a life raft, while others who made the upgrade are switching back. And when the fastest Vista notebook PC World has ever tested is an Apple MacBook Pro, there's something deeply wrong with the universe.'"

    Me too, it's not as bad as it might sound in most slashdot posts anyway... Funny thing is, I think I might be the most weird slashdot member, cos I don't bash on Vista AND I like my PS3... and from what I've seen so far, you have to hate MS and Vista BUT be an Xbox360 lover as well to be on the "in-crowd"... Ah well, I never was much for the in-crowd anyway... I'm way more hip than that! ;P

    In all seriousness, the only way I'd ever "upgrade" is when suddenly all my latest video games REQUIRE Vista to run. You know it'll happen eventually...

    Hah ! My latest videogames work just fine on ZSNes ;).
