Unfortunately you are wrong. Not surprising. I know all those
"improvements".
But the main problem is the gui design.. that's the only thing I have ranted
about,
and of course that vista is slower and the uac, and the constant thrashing
of the hard drives and the....

Yet you forget that vista was meant to be the greatest leap in windows
evolution since windows 95, or at lease bill gates said so. But this is
clearly not the case...

Vista is now a small incremental advancement and in no way a huge leap.
And again I must say that the gui is worse than xp.

I have watched the development of this os very closely from day one of
longhorn..
I know what was promised, I have seen the longhorn videos and I have read
the initial ideas.

I guess it is you who does not know the story correctly. You see a vista
from a beta you downloaded and you think that's it.

Vista is not half the OS it could have been, and with its downspiraling I
don't even think Vienna will be what longhorn was supposed to be.

You have no clue about who I am.. and If I am the joker from the normal card
deck,
you are the fool from the tarot deck.
 
*ROFL* just imagine the responses of the "vista-is-only-eyecandy" crowd had
it had all that useless crap *HOWL*

XP sucked at first, too. Judge Vista when it has its SP2, same thing for
IE7. I am convinced that both were released "as is" in order for MS to
get millions of free guinea pigs to find all the bugs and, of course,
some quick cash.

What worries me is MS' sudden interest in Linux, not if Vista is "kewl"
or not.

Check the responses to your drivel if your ego can take it.

Very few actually care who you are or what your opinion of Vista is.

Your lack of credentials is obvious.

You're fodder for the canons to be fired into the abyss of oblivion.

Reality is, you don't even count.

Hey, man... is Pollyanna your first cousin?

Since when does anyone with half a brain believe the claims of OS vendors
about their upcoming releases?

"What Vista SHOULD have been..." hahahahahaha. Too funny.

There's a kid at work who just got a MacBook Pro. He was struttin' his
stuff... "Hey, lookit this!" OK. Show me. He fires off some VM app, and,
guess what? Gets the Mac equvilant of a BSOD. Yeah, like Macs never crash. BS.

What Vista is... is it's got some fairly significant upticks from XP. Those
that know, know. Those who troll... well... snore... wake me up when you have
something of value to add here.

The nice big adult school that Kevin goes to. You know, the one where
they wipe your own drool off of your face and give adult students a
golden star if they don't have to change your diaper that day.

Out of a million vista users, how many will ever find Flip3D? 1% if

Even less understand the open apple key...

or the Any key for that matter

Some of us consider our computers a tool and not a toy as you do.

I am glad you have your cartoon interface...

Yeah, not as cool as the teletubbie interface you run in XP, right?

Mostly the Windows keys force the alt- and control-shift keys to shrink,
thus forcing typists' fingers into unnatural positions and resulting in
discomfort, typos, and maybe even needless repetitive-stress injuries.
 
Pretty cool looking for linux

Not sure how productive it would be though. A lot of people would preferr
permformance and productivity over eye candy
However it does show that linux has some good potential I don't think
anybody can deny that

do things like THAT because just because it CAN BE DONE doesn't mean
it's a GOOD IDEA. :)

I played with several versions of Linux recently, including Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, openSUSE, Mandrake, etc., and they still have a long way to
go to be desktop replacements for Windows. There's been a lot of
improvements, and some of the software is practical, if not
user-friendly.

While I had openSUSE installed, I played with XGL (note proper
spelling). It's very impressive, but not very practical. I can only
guess it was created as eye candy for Linux users who want bragging
rights over Windows. It's like Flip-3D in that it's nice eye candy to
show other people, but that's about it really.

PS - please don't feed the trolls - AKA Microfox.

Well, the impressive part is the platform it represents, not really how they
used the platform to implement their shell :). That was my point here, that
even though Windows Vista doesn't "show its bling" like this version of
Linux, the underlying architecture IS in place to support it.

If someone wants to lament MS, fine ... but if they use technically
inaccurate or misleading information as "proof" to do so, then I feel
obligated to respond :)

IBM is shifting all their desktops to Linux, the OLPC has chosen Linux for
educational computers, Ubuntu is holding its own in comparisons with
Vista, entire governments are adopting Linux and open-source for their
desktops, and Microsoft now takes Linux so seriously that they just spent
a quarter-billion dollars to go into partnership with Novell.

You guys need to get some new FUD. Things have changed a little since
1999.
