While on the “isnt that bad” topic, lets talk about Windows Vista
Speaking of "isn’t that bad" Vista has been getting a lot of grief since its release. and frankly….
Windows Vista isn’t that bad!!!
The complaints against Windows Vista are completely overrated. What I will admit too is that Vista isnt that much of a change from XP. Thats really the only fault of Vista. One thing that is good about Vista is that it is stable, secure, and has nice little graphical enhancements if you like that kind of stuff (yea I know thats more than one thing…sue me). The problems most people are having with Vista are problems that isn’t Vista’s fault.
- Lack of sufficient driver support.
- Lack of 3rd party software upgraded to be Vista compatible.
- Those Bozo’s at bestbuy.
I actually have a friend that bought a PC from BestBuy with Vista installed. The Bestbuy salesman told him that he had to purchase this $129 antivirus software cause its the only one that works with Vista, and theres no way to get working Antivirus unless the bestbuy guy does it. Now thats some Bull-ish, and thats what people are dealing with when they go to buy computers. By the time my friend left, he had it in his mind that he will not be able to do anything at all on that PC.
To be honest, most of the items above has since been fixed. Now its like how people use to say the XBOX controller sucks way after Microsoft switched to the newer controller. Its all Hype!!!! If your printer doesnt work now, you can almost surely go to the website and download drivers that will make it work. If they dont have drivers, chances are you have a 10 year old printer that isnt even in production anymore, you might as well be trying to get that printer to work with your cell phone.
Yea there are some things that are different, if you are use to using Windows XP, THERE WILL BE SOME CHANGES!!!. That doesnt mean it sucks, or doesnt work, or is bad. It just means that you have to learn the things that are different.
