Ok its time to wake people up.
Windows Vista does not suck. Anyone who says it does has either not used it yet or has upgraded from XP on their existing computer.
Let me tell you... Upgrading your operating system on an existing computer is the stupidest idea ever. Yes you can upgrade Linux. People do that all the time. But a new Ubuntu distro is released every 5 seconds. And Leopard isn't so much an upgrade as it is a glorified patch. It's been many years since XP was released. Yes Vista is bound to require more system resources than XP. ALOT more. Because its more advanced and there is prettiness. Also... you can turn the prettiness off. Just a thought. Also Vista cannot recognize 4 gigs of ram... i don't know why. I haven't looked into it cuz i don't care. So... if you buy a computer today... assuming its not a pile of rat poop from wal-mart. It should run vista fine. So stop whining!

I've used it, its on all my computers at home. I think it sucks. I put up with it at home, but when I actually want to get stuff done I use XP (ie, at work). They tried to over simplify everything, but instead made it more complex...changing,renaming, and relocating things that have been the same since windows 95. Things that used to be one click away now require you to navigate waaay into computer management or desktop profile or wherever they decided to move it to. Every folder thinks is a song folder...if i want to see date modified, size, or type, I have to go into the folder properties and turn those options on, every time I open the folder. When I want to sort by something it groups by it...I don't care if my folder falls into the "modified a long time ago" group, i just want to see the files in order.
They had some good ideas with vista and server 2008, but whatever benefits they added, they destroyed by trying to fix other parts of the OS that weren't broken to begin with.
I'll give you that. They did move things around and try to add things no one wants or needs. But it isnt broken like people say it is. Its just muddy.
