Signed. I hope Vista falls flat on it's face like Me. There's just nothing good about it.

+1 - except Vista has already fallen on it's face. That's why M$ allowed people to "Upgrade their experience" back to XP.

Keep hope alive !!!

I think we may be looking at a paradigm shift in the way people interact with their PC after Vista ... MS is getting hammered at any mention of superiority of Vista over XP, and the hardcore users are staying away in droves, with only people buying a new PC accounting for that 'sale' of Vista.

The web has turned out to be the face of the OS, with most if not all of your apps able to run directly from the web, so we no longer have a singular, offline experience when we are in front of the PC.

Todays youth would consider a PC with no internet access to be a doorstop or a boat anchor, and they use the PC for communication first and foremost. What Vista has added is indeed better security, but most users consider themselves smart enough to not open an email attachment from someone they don't know.

Problem is, an email attachment is not the way you'll receive the next bug on your PC ! Malware/spyware has evolved, and is well ahead of the pace of anti-malware, so net attacks can occur in an hour (zero-day exploits)
and almost always occur from third party plugins (Flash, Java, Acrobat Reader, Quicktime) or even MS own software (Word, Excel).

It will be interesting to see what MS comes up with next, as internet access will continue to evolve, and tomorow's teens will change the way they interact with the tools at hand.

I think our next roadblock is broadband access in general, as the US is faaaar behind what the rest of the world has offered for years now. Five years ago I saw cell phones in Japan that plugged into your laptop via a PCMCIA slot and gave you internet access via your existing phone. Anybody see something like that in the US yet ??

[The_Needle]

Sure, had them for several years now. Unfortunately you are right about broadband here though. WAYYYYYY behind.

Yea, the cell-to-pc internet access is available here. As for broadband access, the U.S. is not only far behind, but we're going in the

WRONG DIRECTION



...Oh, and SAVE XP ++!

And this proves that DD on a HD scale just won't happen. So glad i don't have a hard cap.. or any cap... yet.

I won't sign - It's not that bad. They just need to fix the whole "running slower than xp" deal. I'd even go as far to say as I LIKE using Vista more than XP.

Yes shun me shunnnnnnn!
