...at least, that's evidently how Microsoft feels:

Seems as though they're a bit on the defensive.

can't imagine why. ;-)

the spinmeisters have been busy. Looks like they did a pretty good job, too. I wonder if they'll get promoted? :D

I dont mind vista for some basic reasons:
1 I have the computer to run the darned thing
2 I know how to turn it off and
3 I have knowledge enough to figure out how to use the operating system

I dont think their is much a problem with the operating system itself its just the way things are layed out. You can turn off the UAC but who would look in User Accounts, I would look in a specific folder.

Also with the layout, my father bought a Vista machine and when he tried to access programs it took him forever to find the "start" menu, thats not good considering its in the same spot.

My point is it is fine to use when you get used to it and know how to use it but for the people who dont know how to use it, well good luck, i feel for you

it aint so bad. However it still Sucks.
There are a few features that I like, but many that I dont. Same with Office 07 actually.
Why, whats the point?
And why did everything have to be moved around again. Some things I understand, however a large chunk of stuff seemed to be moved, for the sole reason to move it!
But hey, if it wasnt for Vista, I probably wouldnt be using Linux :D So, in that regard, I should probably congratulate MS for allowing me to move from MS products :D

Feng Shui experts have been round and charged microsoft a fortune for rearranging things in a more harmonious way

quite frustrating for us XP users - it tok me over a minute to find the notepad
