I can operate it just fine. I fix computers every day with every imaginable
OS, so I have to know them all inside out.
I just plain do not like Vista. From my perspective, it is the first time in
my 40 years of compuer experience that a major software vendor released a
new OS that I thought was a step backwards instead of forwards. They call it
new and improved, I call it XP run through a blender and poured in the
pigpen to 'cure'.
Everyone has their opinion, that is mine.
