I've gotta be honest, I thought that Windows 98 had issues. I've been with
Microsoft since windows original. I've upgraded to every release. There
hasn't been 1 that I can remember that was a totally smooth rollout. But
this one, woah, this one is definitely DOA and definitely is and was not
ready for PRIME time! QA PEOPLE! Don't through your high overpriced pieces
of crap software at us and expect us the consumer and computer users to say,
oh that's alright. Microsoft will fix it shortly. I can't believe in the
21st century now and Microsoft is repeating their vast mistakes from the 20th
century.
I install software, write applications, build PC's as my job. I'd love to
see what would happen to my job if I rolled out an application like this at
work.... HA... I'd be FIRED for sure. Here's my frustration, disappointment
and aggravation with this so called product.
1. All along we've heard how "Fast" it is, how your multi-media will look
better, you'll be able to multi-task better and quicker than ever before and
take your online gaming to a new level.
What we should have heard is: Vista will be more secure (even users won't
be able to install or maintain their own applications, so you know, an
outsider definitely isn't getting into this puppy). Yeah, we'll through ya a
couple of cool media shots, we won't include all of the drivers we know
you're going to need, cause quite frankly, we haven't done our research.
Even though you users send us your configuration/hardware information, do you
really expect us to review all that? And multi-task, heck, well let ya click
(all you want), but we won't open windows for you LOL. Instead we'll make it
take 4-8 minutes to open each item, and then take an additional 4-8 minutes
if you want to click back and forth through the windows.
I mean come on people. I've been trying to complete this upgrade for hte
past 24+ hours now! First I couldn't download the upgrade using Microsofts
own download program, huh.... go figure. I should have taken that at face
value and RAN right then.
If a product isn't ready, and you know it's not, why in the heck are you
releasing it. Trust in Microsoft is greatly diminishing. I'm a PC'er at
heart and have gotten use to all of the changes Microsoft has made over the
last 20+ years. I'm in Technology at my job 10hrs/day. The last thing I
want to do is troubleshoot Microsoft coding/application problems. So now
since 9PM CST last night until now 10:15PM CST, I've been working on
identifying the root cause of why my system is at a snails pace.
I really had very high hopes, especially when Windows XP was so easy to
upgrade to. But this time, I'm afraid Microsoft has taken a GIGANTIC LEAP
BACK. I can't tell you how many pc's i've built for businesses, friends,
myself, and how many various installations I've ran and upgrades I've
performed. But this one, this one has me seriously thinking about a new OS.
Because it appears that Microsoft is going back to the same business model
they had with windows 98 and the mess they made there.
Somebody at Microsoft needs to get their head out of the profit piles and
start QA'ing their operating systems. And having knowledgeable technicians
on these forums to assist us knowledgeable users so we can get all of these
issues rectified in short order.
It just appears to me that nobody at Microsoft had "Balls" enough to tell
Bill Gates, "hey Bill, we're really not ready... probably be another couple
months or so". No, instead they roll it out broken, unusable, definitely not
a finished product ready for consumers and watchout to the businesses out
there trying to put together an image they can push out to multiple desktops.
LOL...
Ok so that's my .02 cents worth. <RANT OFF> Have a great week everybody!!!
