Okay, I really hope that there are some MS employees of some account
reading this newsgroup, because I am going to vent my gripes so far after 60
days of use:
1. Networking: No can do at all on my Office network; Period, End of
conversation! I have tried all the Troubleshooting suggestions and STILL
cannot get the computers at my work to talk across platforms (XP to Vista
and vice versa). Major impediment to our office upgrading any further.
2. File security: I have several games I transferred over from my XP
system to my personal laptop, and some of the data directories are NOT in
their proper place; instead they have been moved to a hidden directory that
cannot be found by other elements of the respective games. The games
running on my machine can find them just fine, the Computers that connect to
my machine (when they can find my machine on the nonexistent network)
cannot.
3. Admin Popups, even when I am already running as Administrator. Just
another way MS can annoy the heck out of us.
And I thought Win98 was bad. I won't say this is the worse piece of C**P
of software I have seen in 20 years of working with computers, but I would
be hard pressed to think of anything that beats it. Microsoft should be
paying us to run it on our computers, not the other way around. I finally
got so fed up with it I haven't touched my brand new Vista computer in 2
weeks
