Vista Named Year's Most Disappointing Product
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.'"
This is news? I thought everyone knew Vista is the biggest failure since the cheeseshake.
Yeah that's right - you haven't heard about it because it failed miserably.
It is the best thing that ever happened to Linux on the Desktop. Who needs friends, when you have enemies like this?
"To those who are overly cautious, everything is impossible. "
Office 2007? iPhone? Social Networks - and then Facebook as its own entry? Leopard?
All of those could be cut and I'm just listing what I remember from the article. Why did PC World choose 15 when clearly more than half of those are not tech dissapointments at all, or are so vague and general that they should have never been included in the first place?
Sigh...this is a non-story. Vista is not very good, but it's better than this list.
If O2 is good, O3 must be 1.5 times better!
Relentless, Vista hating articles are definitely the rage this year, but that article summary was the proverbial Brawndo fountain spit-take on the damn accidental rectal probe insertion of IT depts. everywhere.
