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.'"

    no surprise there? their megalomaniacal 'mission' of greed/fear/ego based madness allows for almost all of US/yOUR children to live in darkness/fear or die.

    remember, evile never sleeps, & it's running more scared now than ever in yOUR history, because of the growing awareness of its' life0cidal intentions.

    in the end game, the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, many of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in.

    for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it?

    we're intending for the nazi execrable to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather'.

    meanwhile, the life0cidal philistines continues on their path of death, debt, & disruption for most of US;

    alternatively, (yOUR elected) president al gore (deciding not to wait for the much anticipated 'lonesome al answers yOUR questions' interview here on /.) continues to attempt to shed some light on yOUR foibles;

    still making his views known worldwide, whilst many of US keep yOUR heads firmly lodged up yOUR infactdead.asp(s) hoping (against overwhelming information to the contrary) that the party LIEn scriptdead pr ?firm? fairytail hypenosys scenario will never end.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed in any way, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available after the big flash occurs.

    'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi glowbull warmongering execrable.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

    Seriously. Can we stop with the Vista bashing now? Please?

    Remember what your mom told you about the bullies who picked on you? What they say about you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. Isn't that the truth?

    If all you can do is bash other people and their ideas, what does that say about your own person and ideas? Why can't you be proud enough about yourself and your ideas to let them stand on their own? Surely if your ideas were so great they would speak them self, right?

      Fair game Mr. Raven Sir,

      You know what sucks more than Vista? Linux! And the best parts is, Linux isn't even worth it's price and it is free! How do you like those apples? Linux cannot even compete when it is free! The only reason it is more popular than FreeBSD or OpenBSD is because of paid shills like you. Which is a shame, because FreeBSD is a much more stable, well documented system.

      My Question for you, Mr. Raven is how do you get paid by the FSF to make these comments when your whole damn operating system is free!?

      Of course, I'm joking about the paid shills (maybe) but I'm serious about linux (for all values of $DISTRO) being a shitty operating system. FreeBSD is far better. Vista is much better than them on, at least on the desktop.

    "Not that I classify windows users as sensible people in the first place, but why oh WHY are 90% of the windows computers sold today preloaded with Vista, if so many people can't stand it???"

    Because M$ is doing their best to kill off XP and push Vista to make $ off the upgrades. This is being done by pressing on M$'s 'partners' not to support XP when they release drivers.

    There's no accounting for taste, but I suppose Vista is a step up from a set top DVD player, toaster, brick, bed of nails or sharp stick in the eye. Is it the 12 hour uptime or the ability to watch HD DVDs on your Zune?

    Why would anyone expect that a more complicated and considerably more secure operating system would be faster! It's pretty foolish to equate speed with better. It will require a better computer to run it at the same speed as an older simpler OS. If you could have loaded XP on a P1 with 64 meg of ram and compared it with Windows 95, obviously Win95 would have blown the doors off of XP. But nobody today is so stupid to say that Win95 was a better OS. Get real people, you want a better OS, more secure and you want it to run faster....sheeesh, maybe you want the government to drop income tax too!

    Vista indeed "werks" for many. Are you that stupid that you cannot get it going? Well, you probably have a bigger chance getting laid (not) (which you probably have never been).

    Linux never made it big time to have a chance to be a failure. Ha ha ha

    I'm the next slashdotter and no you don't or you would never have bought an xbox in the first place. Microsoft is the king of slow, bloated, badly designed, buggy, overpriced software and I see no reason, other than user testimonials, why the hardware wouldn't be slow, bloated, badly designed, buggy, and overpriced as well, save for user testamonials. And you'll find slashdot posts that say Vista is a good OS (I wouldn't know, I'm using XP and Mandriva)
