Re: Why they call it vista

So far I have been fairly satisfied with Vista. There are a few things I don't care for with the system, but I didn't have many issues with it so far. I suppose it helps that I am tech savvy, as I can debug my own issues fairly quickly.

One of my biggest peeves with the system is that it wants you to confirm everything. If you disable that feature though, it doesn't ask you to confirm anything. lol There is no "in-between". That gets under my skin a lot.

Re: Why they call it vista

I was expecting Rich to rip vista apart. I think that was the closest to a good review I've seen of it.

Re: Why they call it vista

The biggest issue I'm having is on our network at work. Vista doesn't communicate very well with XP. They say it's because Vista is so powerful, compared to XP.

Re: Why they call it vista

I believe they deliberately made the 2 somewhat incompatible. If you think about it, why create a municiple system. If they worked well together, most people would simply never upgrade. By causing conflicts, it forces one of the systems to either upgrade, or downgrade. In either case, they make a sale!

Very true. Have to admit that Bill Gates is a heck of a businessman.
