I hope to attempt to make this comment as civil as possible. In my
experience with Microsoft it has not been a very positive one. I do not know
where to begin on describing my negative experiences. I will give Microsoft
credit for establishing standards to get the computer revolution started, but
where they excelled in creativity they severely lack in Quality Assurance. I
am sure they tried, but I a majority of the people I have talked to agree
that Microsoft is slowly becoming a joke. I suspect if there were
alternatives that were widely used, Microsoft would find itself behind the
ball. Perfect examples - Firefox - Google. These two softwares are WELL
supported and the community that uses them have positive experiences. I
dread using Microsoft, but unfortunately they are the "standard".
Please, I beg of you. Severely invest in improving your quality.

You still haven't been specific about exactly what your problem(s) are
using Vista.
You haven't stated which version of Vista you have, did it come
pre-installed (from which company), or did you upgrade, clean install or
what?
You're speaking in generalities and sound slightly like an MS hating troll.
So what the real deal?
Frank

Maybe with your IQ Vista is difficult to use, but for the rest of us, we can
use it. Vista is annoying as hell but we can use it.

You Frank, sound like the village idiot you are.

First of all, I agree with you to an extent. But in many aspects its MS that
is ahead of the others. If it weren't for firefox, IE7/8 wouldn't be
here/coming today.

I also have a problem with WMP11 as a music player. However, I concede to
the fact that they have to keep it as simple as they can. Winamp, as good as
it is, is quite complex for many users and they get scared using it.

I could go on all day, but to simplify what I'm saying, I understand some of
the lack in features in order to keep it simple.

For the record, there is very little that MS delivers than Linux will not
do as well - and as easily albeit a bit differently.

M$ offers Alias a raison d'être albeit inversely.

Linux on its own can't deliver that.

For the "real" record (the truth), that ain't true and you know it!

If you have trouble using vista's media player check the website in my signature for some tutorials or post your questions on this forum. We're here to help. Windows Vista is cool once you get the hang of it:)
