@doggywuv Vista does not suck! It had a lot of bugs before its Service Pack 1, but this isn’t the case anymore.
No, you are right, it does not suck. It would need a massive improvement before it could rise to a merely “sucks” level. Vista is way below “sucking”.
Even Microsoft has admitted that it was a failure – after non-stop bad reviews and tens of millions of customer complaints. MS even smoothed the way for people and companies wishing to step back to XP-Pro.
Vista, like XP-Pro ect., is fine if used within their clearly stated limitations. Most of the problems are with people without IT skill doing things that they shouldn’t. The problem is that is where the Microsoft market lies – non-professional users. From that POV – Vista sucks.
I have NEVER had a Blue Screen on XP, never had a Virus/Trojan problem, but also, I have never run software that wasn’t approved – as so many people do. My XP machines run as fast as the day they were set-up. But I manage my own Group Policies, only install software that doesn’t do nasty things and do regular housekeeping.
My problem with Vista was with compatibility with existing XP designed software – many conflicts.
(I still much prefer my Macs.)
