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.'"

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!
