I feel that this move is a good one and that somehow relates to the Win ME lifecycle, even if there's people ranting about the comparison, I know there is a lot of people here that actually likes vista, but I also know people that Actually likes Win ME, that goes as far as saying that it is the best OS that they have used and even I have a computer that runs beautifully with Windows ME, just like if the machine was meant for that OS, that doesn't mean its a great OS.
Lets face it.. a computer with windows XP does the same thing a vista one does but with much less memory and processing power, and if you upgrade the memory so it matches the Vista requirements then you can have a blazing fast XP machine.
I remember my first encounter with Vista, trying to make a new laptop work with the networked printer in the office, should be as easy or even easier than in windows xp isn't it? well.. the fact is that it was not, I finally had to get into google and look for a similar problem, the solution? adding the printer as a local one even if it wasn't and then changing the port to a network route, WTF? that is the behavior of a sucking ass OS and you can't convince me it is not I can add network printers in any win32 system from win95 to winxp flawlessly and then vista can't?
Then I have to add that it is annoying to have it asking for absolutely everything, from opening a damn website to changing the desktop theme, I know they say its a way to keep the system safe but it doesn't solve anything, making a good rootkit or trojan leaves all the annoying questions to the user, the malware will bypass it anyway.
I hope that Windows 7 is as good as XP has been, because Vista has never been my cup of tea, and from Microsoft's move I can see it isn't a lot of people's either.
That doesn't mean that Vista can't run wonderfully in your hardware, congratulations, I also have a PC that runs with Windows ME better than with any other OS you could put on it.
What's so amazing about this? Apple has used business practices that make Microsoft look like angels, the truth is Apple likes Closed Source, Locked Devices and DRM even more than Microsoft does, and their hardware generally is a piece of shit but looks cool, and in the eyes of Macintosh evangelist their hardware failing is just normal...
