Windows Vista Sux – Stay Away From It

I’ve heard many people said it, but hey, it can’t be that bad, right? I mean, Microsoft has been in the OS area since a few decades ago. Anyway I don’t have the chance to try Vista until I got my Dell Inspiron 1420 which came with Windows Vista installed – which ultimately after 3 weeks of using it, I decided to get rid of it, forever. And here’s why (just partly, ok):

• Slow like heck.
• I got at least 5 BSOD (yes, the infamous blue screen of death) during my 3 weeks experience with Vista. (No, it’s not hardware problem. I’ve managed to run XP on the very same system without any BSOD)
• Firefox 3.0 will crash several times. Average once every 2 days.
• Sometimes Netbeans 6.0 will close itself without warning. Happens at least twice.
• Many small old programs won’t work as efficient as they did in Windows XP.
• Posting in forums indicates that many Inspiron 1420 users ditched Vista too.. most complained of Vista as too slow and unreliable.
• Among the last to detect cabled network connection in my office (others using XP detected it faster than my Vista).

Anyway I don’t know what’s so special of this Vista until it needs to eat too many system resources. The only thing I like about Vista is the game package it came with. Lame, isn’t it? Haha.

Hey, don’t regard this as a Microsoft bashing post.  Instead, consider it as a pat-on-the-back to Microsoft, since their Windows XP has proven that it can stand the test of time.

Windows Vista is very unrealiable – worse than Windows ME. No wonder Intel has decided not to use Vista. And no wonder Microsoft has announced that a new Windows will be revealed at the end of 2009.
