I can't love it either. The computer costs lots of money and I can't use it
in usual ways I have used to. This Vista is so controlling and stupid that I
am FRUSTRATED!!
I can't make CDs useable in my other computer and I can't install my
favourite programs and I can't view my videos because they are in MOV format.

Why did they create this ridiculous system anyway?

This is the the last windows in our household.
They should have told us the real new features about Vista and not those
polished cliches how useable it is.

The new commercial should have told :
You can surf in the internet and view some photos and allowed formats of
videos but you can't get them anywhere but in the Internet out of your
computer. You can buy music and movies and do some shopping in the Net but
you can't work by this baby. Think about! I make in best days 1000 photos a
day. Where I am supposed to put those photos if I can't use my burmed CDs in
my other computer containing some nice photoediting programs. This Vista
probably crash soon and there they'll go, all my pretty photos despite of
backups on the same hard disck.
