We all know the world is full of Microsoft Bashers - many of them, I believe,
don't even know why they hate Microsoft - they just think it's the right
thing to do. I've never been a Microsoft Basher. In fact, I've been a loyal
Microsoft user since DOS 3.0, or earlier.
I will agree, however, that Windows ME was an unmitigated disaster......no
question about it. And I seem to recall DOS 3.2 wasn't a huge success. But
aside from these less-than-stellar products I have, for the most part, been
quite happy with Microsoft products. Oh, I should confess I never liked Word
for DOS. Wordperfect in DOS days was King, no ifs, ands, or buts. That, of
course, all changed when we began moving to Windows - it was the end for
Wordperfect and the beginning of Microsoft Office which continues to reign
supreme to this day.
All this leads up to my wanting to say how very pleased I am with what I
have since in Vista. Like many others, I was very disappointed with Vista
Beta 2. In fact, it lasted on my system only a few days. But Microsoft
stepped up to the plate with RC1 and I have, among other things, been very
pleased, not to mention surprised, at the much improved speed of Vista over
XP Pro SR2.
Yes there's a learning curve, and yes not everything is to my exact liking -
it would be unrealistic of me, or anyone, to expect it to be so. However,
and the sole purpose of this message, I just wanted to say how overall
pleased I have been with Windows Vista. And I'm sure the final release will
only be better.
