…a great way to stay on top of the dynamic field of Opticianry and make some friends in the process.
Vista is a true piece of garbage operating system reminiscent of Windows Millenium. It is extremely geared towards DRM to the point that it’s not even worth buying any songs or videos out of fear of running out of licenses because of Vista’s instability. Vista is like a diamond encrusted turd. It’s very pretty, no doubt about it, but fundamentally short of being useful. Microsoft has lost its way. It is writing software instead of operating systems.
Don’t believe the non-sense Mojave commercials. If Microsoft had any balls they would show someone bring in a program to install. They don’t because the look of horror on the face of the one installing the software would look as if someone had just killed their loved one as the machine commits suicide, right in front of the installer, to a brand new screen of death color.
Microsoft has basically declared war on the human race and would probably turn on humanity if Roswell really happened.
My advice is to stick with Windows XP or get an Apple. In retrospect, Apple has been excessively kind to Microsft in their advertisements. I would personally get an apple if the programs I like were on it.

Vista is not what Microsoft claims to be by far, and my personal experience with the software was nowhere near pleasing. As soon as I could, I put XP back onto my Dell laptop. However, XP would occasionally freeze and stopped responding all together, so I put the Vista back on.
After installing SP1, many of the previous errors I had received had either improved or vanished completely. I say to give Vista a second chance. As for Apple computers, I have not had one error with the OSX operating system. Also, I got the parallel’s software to run XP on my Mac so that way I’m getting the best of both worlds. I’m still waiting for the day for Dell to release the drivers for my wireless internet card so that I can put Ubuntu on my laptop.

Have you tried the Windows 7 beta yet? It’s what Windows Vista was supposed to be (much improved) and seems a lot faster so far. It’s good enough to think about the jump from XP, IMO.

I haven’t yet, but I would like to upgrade to it once the full version comes out.
