Vista - Vista OS Experience

I have finnaly bit the bullet and installed Vista Ultimate. I have only 1 issue and that is that i can't get IE protection to work, However, I don't see this as a big issue since I do have a Router, Firewall, Antivrus, ect....

Speed. I have not noticed any time of slowdown, In fact my laptop seems to have sped up a bit. I love the Dictation (Speech recognition).

Now don't think I love microsoft, because I hate the fact that they charge so much for their software. They rush on their OS etc...

If Microsoft would take their time to develop an operating system from scratch and instead of paying for upgrades (New Versions), they charge a yearly subscription fee of say ($50.00) and when new software was released you could get it if your subscription was paid in full, i believe Microsoft would make alot more money and not have to worry so much about Piracy.

than $50.00. ;^)

Interesting feedback. I would note that if you throw out the existing Win32
codebase and develop Win32++ from scratch, you would do fascinating and
probably bad things with application compatibility. =\

There have been several articles about this issue and to the best of my knowledge Microsoft is seriously considering offering this in the future.

The willingness demonstrated by users like you to accept a defective product
is the reason Bill Gates and his merry men do things the way they do.

If you bought a new car and GM or Ford said "We know the brakes don't work
and neither does reverse, but hang in there and we'll eventually issue fixes
for those problems", how long would you stand for it? Why should M$ be held
to a lower standard by consumers than any other provider of any other
product?

Operating systems are extremely complex. It amazes me that they work as
well as they do. You cannot compare complex lines of code to simple
mechanical machines. Operating systems must interact with thousands of
different software applications. Mechanical machines need to interact only
with their own internal components.
The Windows operating systems are no more defective than those based
upon Unix/Linux code. They all have problems due to their complexity. They
are, and will continue to be, a work in progress. If you think you can do
better I suggest you develop and market your own OS so that we don't have to
deal with such problems.
In the meantime, please provide us with a list of the defects you
allude to. I'm sure someone in this newsgroup can assist you in overcoming
your problems.

I would really appreciate it if you would stop attacking people so we can
raise the level of conversation here.

Regardless of whether you're pro or anti anything, adversarial relationships
and commentary make it that much less likely than useful data can be
gathered.

I'm not an MVP. I think I'm an XPert if that program still exists(?), but
other than that I'm just a random developer (programmer) at Microsoft who
attempts to and usually manages to do a lot of good through using public
interaction to delve into issues. Thanks for the compliment though. =)
