Hi,
As an Internet and computer geezer I am not easily impressed. It seems
like two things I should be concerned about these days, according to
all the bloggers and press, is to love the iPhone and hate Vista. I
tried to do both. It didn't work. I like the iPhone, but I do not love
it. I do not hate Vista, in fact I do not even like it. I love Vista!
Ooooh, felt good to finally say that!
In my opinion this is the best Microsoft has ever done. On my new HP
dv2550se laptop (another device I'm currently in love with) Vista runs
like a charm. After I got rid of all the stuff HP put on there, and
then all the stuff Microsoft has cluttered Vista with I am left with a
rock solid beautifully looking (without being an Apple rip) user
interface. The only problems I have had has been with a couple of
drivers that didn't like Vista. I got those replaced and everything
was fine again.
For me Vista simply works great. Even the error detection when I had
those pesky driver issues worked. Vista told me what was wrong and
where to go to get it fixed. How cool is that? And this time it isn't
Microsoft telling me how it should work. It actually works for real!
I have been on Windows (and other OS's) since the 80s. Finally I am in
a situation where I do not feel the need to dual-boot my laptop with
Linux, QNX, OS/2 etc. I simply do not need it at this point. That's a
first for me!
And don't even get me started on Office 2007. Also an innovative good
looking office package that seems to work beautifully. Expensive
though! Very expensive. Going to create a lot of thieves.
If you could look me up and see where and what I have posted about
operating systems in the past you would be shocked over what I am
saying here. This is a big deal for me: I love an OS for Microsoft!
My only question is: Why are everyone having so much against something
that seems to be very good? Do they trust the press and all those who
just enjoys trashing things without even trying it? I do not get it.
But who cares. I love my new OS and are currently busy tweaking the
little details which makes it all mine, and Vista hums along nicely in
that process also.
