Vista: Why Has It Left a Bad Taste?

Started by ChangeForge | Ken Stewart · 11 months ago

Let me start by saying that I swore I would never, ever, ever post something on Vista. That being said, I put my stake in the ground and give my opinion on Vista.SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Vista: Why Has It Left a Bad Taste?", url: "http://www.changeforge.com/2008/07/11/vista-why-has-it-left-a-bad-taste/" }); ...

I upgraded to Vista 8 months ago. I had been on Vista when it first came out and was incredibly unhappy with it so I went back to XP for a while. Reading this post makes me ask myself the question, "What can I do on Vista that I couldn't do before I upgraded?

The answer, I think, is nothing of any consquence. Some of the things that I did well, I can't do the same way now. Some of my old programs don't run anymore. I had to find alternates. I am not more productive and I am not better off for making the switch.

What I do have, however, is more "applications not responding" errors. I have a more Maclike interface and more compatibility issues with devices like my smart phone and camera. (in fact, I have to use my Mac for my camera... have never been able to get it to work with Vista.).

I don't recommend moving to Vista. I think that there are many better choices than Vista. I think that the world would be a better place if everything was Mac friendly.

I would agree in general with your post. I've not seen any real productivity enhancements... just a pretty interface - which is debatable compared against that of a Mac... however, Mac's lack true enterprise support at this point - so I'm still waiting on that little "undersight" to be fixed before I plunge headlong into becoming a mac fanboy!

Let me just say that as far as waiting 5 years to release Vista and it being what it is ... I was not impressed with that in mind... but I'm not seeing any bugs - atleast not yet ;-)

Well, I for one jumped on the Vista band wagon since it's inception. I've been a fan of it since I first tinkered with it.
I was taken by all the cool features, and of course the really cool interface.
But aside from that, it has a lot of convenience's I enjoy. It of course has it's drawbacks and bugs (but so does XP and all other OS's), but as a whole, I recommend it to anyone who asks.
