Some People Hate Vista, I Don't!

Here is the problem with vista and microsoft in general.

1) Vista is too graphic heavy
2) vista is encrypted which is why people choose not to use macs as it is encrypted.
3) There are no major upgrades to vista from xp besides the graphics which is not needed it is just a way for them to make companies who want to make software for it pay for a license and get more money from you. If you look deeply into Windows 2000-Vista they are all exactly the same features except for how it looks, and up from windows 2000-xp some backend fixes which can easily be done by upgrades if you think about it.

They are becoming apple which people seem to hate, but its stupid they set out to be the Personal Computer not all up and crap like mac, dont get me wrong i love mac but vista is being just dumb.

Thats my 3 cents.

That's entirely wrong...! Vista features new filing systems, indexing systems, kernels, administrative features. Then, along with this is brings a newer, better mail system, a nicer user interface, better media management, better filesystem browsing, more handy tools such as BitEncryption, better multi-user capabilities, better plug-n-play, directx10, etc. etc. etc.

You can not say it is the same operating system with new clothes on - that is simply unfounded and untrue.

But they haven't got it quite right yet, IE7 is a nightmare and the memory management in vista is **** poor.

Why is this a problem? The "graphics" you mention are now handled by the graphics card, and not the CPU, so there should be no performance degradation at all.

This didn't make sense to me. Please rephrase?

Wrong on many levels. As already stated by others, there are many (thousands) of underlying changes to the Kernel and other areas that you perhaps won't ever notice. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they're not there

The jump from 2000 to XP was as "significant" as XP to Vista, in terms of underying code changes.
